| Reverse description | The full heraldic achievement of the Coat of Arms of Saskatchewan occupies the central reverse field. The shield is divided into two quarters: the upper half displays a golden lion passant on red, representing the arms of England, while the lower half shows three gold wheat sheaves on a green field, symbolizing Saskatchewan's agricultural heritage. The dexter supporter is a golden lion rampant wearing a collar of western red lilies, and the sinister supporter is a white-tailed deer. Atop the shield rests a beaver crest surmounting a royal crown. A ribbon scroll below bears the provincial motto 'MULTIS E GENTIBUS VIRES' (From Many Peoples, Strength), flanked by western red lily flowers. The legends '300 DOLLARS • CANADA' arc along the upper rim and '2014' appears in the lower field exergue. |

| Additional information |
The 58.33% gold alloy used here is a deliberate archaism — it replicates the fineness of 14-karat gold historically favored in Canadian jewelry markets, chosen by the RCM for this provincial series to evoke a domestic craft tradition rather than the investment-grade .9999 purity of bullion issues. Saskatchewan joined Confederation in 1905, and the Royal Canadian Mint's provincial commemorative program has leaned heavily on that centennial window for thematic justification across multiple denominations.
The 60-gram, 50mm format places this squarely in the RCM's large-format collector kilo-adjacent tier — low mintages, rarely exceeding a few hundred pieces.
