1.1250 troy oz .99999 2008 Proof

In 2008, a remarkable sovereign gold coin was issued, celebrating the delicate natural beauty of northern flora. Struck in an extraordinary 0.99999 fine gold, this coin represents an exceptional level of metal purity. It contains 1.1250 troy ounces of gold and carries a face value of 350 Dollars, backed fully by the Canadian government. The reverse side of this proof issue showcases the Purple Saxifrage, a resilient wildflower. This detailed floral portrait was created by artist Susan Taylor. The inscriptions on this face highlight the purity of the metal, featuring the text "0.99999 FINE GOLD" alongside the denomination and the name of the issuing nation, Canada. On the obverse, the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II faces right, accompanied by the Latin abbreviation "D. G. REGINA" and her name. The year of issue, 2008, is also clearly inscribed on this side. With a limited mintage of just 1,995 pieces, this coin is a fascinating study in high-purity minting and botanical art.
