1914 Canada Five Dollar Gold Coin
Canadian gold Five Dollar coin, struck at the Ottawa branch of the Royal Mint in 1914. This was the final issue in a short-lived series of gold $5 and $10 coins that were minted in Canada from locally mined gold before the outbreak of the First World War. These highly collectable coins are known for their crowned portrait of the reigning monarch, King George V, and their distinctive coat of arms and maple leaf reverse, designed by British engraver William Henry James Blakemore. Just 31,122 Canadian gold $5s were struck in solid .900 gold in 1914, and many were retained by the Bank of Canada, meaning they can often be found in excellent condition.
