1980 Canada 1/2 oz Prf Gold $100 Arctic Territories (Impaired)
In 1980, Canada issued a remarkable commemorative gold coin dedicated to its vast Arctic Territories. This sovereign issue, backed by the Canadian government, contains exactly a half-ounce of gold with a purity of 0.9167. Its design captures both the cultural heritage of the far north and the traditional iconography of the nation, rendered in a beautiful proof finish. The reverse of the coin showcases a striking scene of an Inuk navigating a kayak, set against the dramatic backdrop of a towering iceberg. This powerful imagery honors the enduring spirit of the Arctic region. On the obverse, the right-facing profile of Queen Elizabeth II is displayed, accompanied by the year 1980 and the face value of 100 Dollars.
