Canada’s first official gold coins were minted in 1912 at the Ottawa Mint, which operated as a branch of Britain’s Royal Mint at that time. These inaugural gold pieces were produced in $5 and $10 denominations and featured the portrait of King George V on the obverse, reflecting Canada’s status as part of the British Empire. Now, 1913 $10 Canadian Gold Reserve Coins are available to you online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
His Majesty King George V is found on the obverse of 1913 Canadian Gold Reserve Coins. His Majesty is shown here in left-profile relief and is wearing a coronation crown on his head with regal clothes visible around his shoulders. The engravings on this side of the coin are in Latin.
For the reverse of 1913 $10 Canadian Reserve Coins, the mint features the image of the Canadian coat of arms. This version of the seal is based on the 1868 coat of arms adopted following Confederation. It features a shield with emblems representing the major Canadian provinces involved in the Confederation movement, as well as emblems representing the United Kingdom at large.
Production of these coins was relatively limited, with fewer than 850,000 pieces minted before production ceased in 1914 due to the outbreak of World War I. Following the war, these coins largely disappeared from public view. These remaining specimens come from a small hoard of 300,000 surviving coins found in Bank of Canada vaults. The hoard consisted for $5 and $10 denominations from 1912, 1913, and 1914.
These 1913 $10 Canadian Gold Reserve Coins are in Mint State 63 condition and ship in plastic slabs. These coins showcase slightly impaired mint luster with numerous small contact marks and some scattered heavy marks. Small hairlines may also be visible without magnification. The coins may feature a label in the slab from either the PCGS or NGC, with no guarantee of which one you’ll receive.
