2017 Canada $200 1-oz Gold Elk Proof

This Majestic Elk Comes Struck in Five Nines Gold!

What does "five nines gold" mean? Normally coins are struck in 99.9% pure gold. In select cases, as with Canada’s Gold Maple Leafs, they may even come in 99.99% pure gold. This fantastic Elk coin, however, is incredibly struck in 99.999% pure gold! As gold is a relatively soft metal, a higher gold content makes striking a coin in such fine detail incredibly difficult. But the artists at the Royal Canadian Mint were up to the task, and the result is beautiful.

Bearing a legal-tender value of $200, this one-ounce, 99.999% pure gold Elk Proof is the fourth release of Canada’s Call of the Wild series, and features the beast as it releases a high-pitched call, represented by the waves in the background. This is a very limited release, with a maximum mintage of only 400 pieces. Add this shimmering, five nines gold to your collection today!
