20 dollars gold - 1967

20 dollars gold 1967

Very few gold coins have been struck in Canada, even though gold was widely used throughout the world as a medium of exchange until the early years of this century. Canada issued $5 and $10 gold coins in 1912, 1913 and 1914 and British sovereigns were struck at The Royal Mint in Ottawa from 1908 to 1919.

To commemorate the 100 anniversary of the Confederation, the Finance Minister Mitchell Sharp announced, in 1967, the release of a special specimen presentation set including a $20 gold coin.

The package was a black leather presentation case bearing the Coat of Arms on the cover. The issue price was only $40 for the entire set of seven coins.

Because 334,288 of these sets were sold, the 1967 20-dollars gold coin is generally worth bullion value whatever in which condition it is.

SP (Specimen): Special collectors coins struck at the Mint with a frosted/mirror appearance on the design and effigy from 1996 to 2024. Before 1996, if specimen coins have been removed from their protective envelope or original package, it is harder to differentiate them from PL coins. Specimen coins are struck up to two times on numismatic presses.
