DESCRIPTION
An iconic image of the Cariboo Gold Rush crafted in fine gold (99.99% pure)!
In 1861, prospectors arrived in colonial British Columbia. The gold rush was intense and short lived; and delivered unimaginable wealth for the time. Using panning to locate gold dates back thousands of years. The pan has remained the symbol of the gold rush dream: one prospector, alone in the wilderness, armed only with a pan and dreams of "striking it rich". This coin will make a beautiful gift for someone you cherish.

• Your coin marks the 150TH anniversary of Canada’s colonial gold rush!
• Crafted in 1/25-ounce fine gold (99.99% pure).
• GST/HST exempt.
• Limited to 12,000 coins worldwide.
Design:
Designed by Tony Bianco, your coin depicts the elemental image that inspired gold fever throughout the 1860s: a tin pan just lifted from the river’s waters filled with nuggets and the dust of gold.
