Uniqueness is often the thing that turns a gift for yourself or someone else into a truly meaningful keepsake and a family heirloom in the making. Intricate engravings, beautiful finishes, stunning embellishments and jaw-dropping effects combine to make collectible coins truly precious—and we’re not just talking about the metal used to make them.
Each coin is a work of art you can fit in the palm of your hand. Behind each design is the creative vision of an artist, brought to life by our engravers through traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge minting technology. The result is something remarkable and unique.
A Coin for Every Occasion
While collectible coins are something to cherish on their own, it’s the themes that make them perfect for so many occasions. There’s a wide range of themed coins out there, with many capturing the sentiment behind life’s biggest moments. For example, the Mint offers coins to commemorate birthdays and births, weddings and more—even coins to welcome visitors and newcomers to Canada.
Another great thing about collectible coins is that many are issued annually with new features and designs, making them suitable for recurring occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. Grandparents, for example, love being able to give new versions of the same coin to their grandkids as they cross certain milestones, like graduating from school or getting married.
The power of coins to enhance special moments is reflected in the fact that we routinely receive stories from customers about how they share our coins with their families and loved ones. In some cases, they use coins to mark a single occasion; in others, they become part of a family tradition.
