Klondike Gold Rush Series
The Royal Canadian Mint's Klondike Gold Rush Series began in 2021, the 125th Anniversary. In August 1896, Keish (Skookum Jim Mason), his nephew Kàa Goox (Dawson Charlie), Shaaw Tlàa (Kate Carmack), and her husband, George Carmack, discovered gold nuggets in Rabbit (Bonanza) Creek, in Canada's Yukon Territory. This amazing find sparked a three-year stampede of prospectors seeking riches in the far northern wilderness. The mining boom it produced put Canada on the map as a leading gold producer and spurred Yukon's entry into Confederation. It even accelerated the creation of the Royal Canadian Mint's Ottawa facility and its world-class gold refinery.
The gold rush also had devastating consequences on the local environment and for the communities of original Indigenous inhabitants of the Klondike region. They were displaced and their traditional way of life undermined - a legacy Canada is still grappling with today. The Klondike Prospecting for Gold coin has a very high purity level at .99999 Fine.

Coin Design
The reverse of this coin features the artwork of accomplished coin designer Steve Hepburn. His illustration depicts a miner pouring water into a rocker box. The coin bears the signature radial lines of all Mint bullion coins, as well as a micro-engraved maple leaf mark showing the number 22 to correspond to its year of issue. Surrounding the reverse design are the inscriptions of CANADA, 2022, 99999, FINE GOLD, 1 OZ, OR PUR and the initials SH for the designer.

The obverse design shows the 2003 effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. It was originally designed by Susan Blunt. Obverse inscriptions include ELIZABETH II, D G REGINA and 200 DOLLARS.

Sealed Assay Card Packaging
The Royal Canadian Mint introduced a credit card sized packaging option that is both compact and secure. Each Klondike Gold bullion coin is fully sealed in a transparent high-barrier film, providing it with a tamper and puncture-proof safeguard against scratching, marring or wear. The credit card-sized format allows for easy handling and storing. The back of the card includes the official Royal Canadian Mint assay certificate signed by the Chief Assayer, certifying the authenticity and the purity of the bullion coin's content.
