The Royal Canadian Mint has just unveiled its latest design: a 5 kg silver coin that features Canada 's Coat of Arms.The coin is six times the size of a 50-cent coin, with a 180 mm diameter . It also has a face value of $500, but owning this masterpiece will cost you more: it costs a jaw-dropping $12,999.95.
The coin is made with 99.99 per cent pure silver and features a new interpretation of the Arms of Canada. It's surrounded by an elaborate border with birds representing all 13 provincial and territorial emblems. "While the overall coin design forms a circular nest shape that represents home, the graphic depictions of natural elements demonstrate how heraldry can tell a story in a simple and effective way — and I love the drama that they create," states Canadian artist Cathy Bursey-Sabourin.The coin has a serrated edge and the back features an effigy of His Majesty King Charles III designed by Canadian portrait artist Steven Rosati.
The presentation is as grand as you’d expect: the coin is housed in a clear round capsule inside a Royal Canadian-branded high-grade wooden presentation case. It also comes with a special certificate in a booklet format.
