1998 Canada 1/10 oz Gold Maple Leaf BU (Family of Eagles Privy)
In 1998, Canada issued a special tenth-ounce gold coin that combines national flora with a striking wildlife motif. Struck in exceptionally pure 0.9999 fine gold, this five-dollar denomination piece stands out due to an intricate addition on its reverse side. Alongside the iconic, deeply detailed maple leaf, a tiny privy mark depicting a family of eagles is nestled just to the left of the leaf stem, adding an extra layer of detail for keen-eyed observers. The opposite side of the coin features the right-facing profile of Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by the inscription of her name, the year 1998, and the face value of five dollars. As a sovereign issue backed by the Canadian government, this Brilliant Uncirculated coin represents a fascinating intersection of traditional Canadian symbols and specialized, small-scale engraving artistry.
