The 2010 Olympic games held in Vancouver, Canada, were the third time Canada had had the honor bestowed upon it. The immensely successful games saw Sidney Crosby's golden goal to secure the gold medal in men's hockey, with the women's national team also winning, Alex Bilodeau securing gold in only the second day of events in men's Freestyle Skiing. Finally, the event successfully unified the national, instilling a deep sense of pride within each citizen, as Canada led all countries in the gold medal tally with 14 gold medals. This 1-kilogram gold coin commemorates our finest performance on the world Olympic stage in stunning fashion, with a 9999 pure gold content and intricate design! This coin is a collector's item, with only a total of 20 coins minted, and is only the fifth coin produced by the Royal Canadian Mint in a one-kilogram denomination.

The reverse side pays homage to Canada's indigenous roots by featuring an eagle, a mythical and revered animal in several different cultures. Eagles are considered sacred in mythical terms, with their feathers known to transmit luck, courage, and wisdom to those worthy of obtaining them. This beautiful coin is fashioned in a high relief style, with a proof finish applied throughout, and a blank coin field.

The obverse contains the modern effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, with the depiction minimized to feature the official Olympic emblem within the field of the coin. The images are encapsulated by the denominational value, year of issue, and her Majesties name.

À PROPOS DE LA MONNAIE ROYALE CANADIENNE

La Monnaie royale canadienne est connue pour être l'une des monnaies les plus réputées au monde. La succursale d'Ottawa de la Monnaie royale a ouvert ses portes en 1908 et a été rebaptisée Monnaie royale canadienne en 1931 lorsque le contrôle a été transféré au gouvernement canadien. Ses normes élevées d'excellence et de qualité lui ont permis d'être la première raffinerie à fabriquer des pièces d'investissement en or d'une pureté de 9999 en 1982, ainsi que la première à atteindre une pureté d'or de 99999 en 1998.
