Royal Canadian Mint released an excellent addition to your collection focused around history or Canadiana.

This stunningly engraved, finely finished $100 gold coin celebrates the 150th Anniversary of the Charlottetown and Québec Conferences—important steps on Canada’s path to nationhood.

Coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box.

The architectural elements of each building have been carefully polished to showcase the structures as they would have appeared 150 years ago.

Coin was designed by Luc Normandin and features finely detailed images of the buildings in which the Charlottetown and Québec Conferences took place, inspired by nineteenth-century engravings. The top half of the design features the Charlottetown Colonial Building, now called Province House. In the lower half of the image, we see Québec Parliament Buildings that stood in the place now occupied by the Château Frontenac. Again bringing to life the intricate detail of the original engraving, this image presents the building from atop a cannon-lined battlement, overlooking the harbour at Cape Diamant.

The two images on the reverse are separated by a scroll featuring the text "CHARLOTTETOWN 1864 QUÉBEC."
