Albert Einstein shattered long-held scientific beliefs with his theory of relativity, which he perfected in 1915. Today, the theory is well known by students and professors around the globe. A special “E=MC2” privy mark has been added to these unique 2015 1/10 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins in honor of the 100th anniversary of Einstein’s revelation.
The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coin was introduced in 1979 as a counterbalance to the influence of the South African Krugerrand. Then the most popular coin in the world, Western nations had set an embargo on South African goods as punishment for its brutal apartheid system.
On the reverse side of each coin is the standard sugar maple leaf design featured on all Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins. Below the design is a privy mark that features Einstein’s brilliant equation. “Canada” is engraved above, “9999” on either side of the maple leaf, and the words “Fine Gold 1/10 oz Or Pur” are featured below.
The obverse bears the image of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty’s right-profile effigy, created in 2003 by Susanna Blunt, is surrounded by engravings that include her name, the year of issue, the phrase “D.G. Regina,” and the face value of the coin.
Royal Canadian Mint products are often the gold standard which all coins are compared to. Founded in 1908, the mint operates facilities in Ottawa and Winnipeg.
