Canada's first diamond-shaped coin struck in pure gold.
The splendor of 99.99% pure gold and the brilliance of a Forevermark diamond are a perfect match. And the effect is even better when the piece takes on a shape never seen before! The result is an unforgettable collector's item that defines the ultimate in luxury. This is Canada's very first pure gold coin in the shape of a diamond, a numismatic feat made possible by the collaboration of Crossworks Manufacturing and diamond manufacturer Forevermark. The result of over a year's work, this diamond-encrusted gem pays tribute to the beauty of a Canadian gemstone cut with perfect symmetry and unprecedented precision. A 0.2-carat Forevermark Black Label diamond is inlaid in one of the piece's chiseled facets.
A 0.2-CARAT CANADIAN GEM. The Forevermark diamond adorning this coin is among the last to be extracted from the Victor mine in Northern Ontario, before its closure in 2019.
Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a double-shell case adorned with the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case comes with a black protective box.
