75 Dollars - Elizabeth II Geese

This piece belongs to the Royal Canadian Mint's "Canada's Forgotten Heroes" series, issued in 2007 to honor the sacrifice of Canadian soldiers in World War I. The geese motif references the iconic silhouette associated with the Western Front, where the sound of migrating geese overhead became one of the few natural constants for soldiers enduring the trenches. The coin's unusual bimetallic composition — a 14-karat gold alloy incorporating significant silver — was a deliberate RCM metallurgical choice to achieve a warmer, more muted surface tone distinct from standard bullion issues.
