About
99999 Gold Coin – Purple Saxifrage (2008)
Since this collection's launch in 1998, the unsurpassed purity standard of these coins has put them in a class of their own. Numismatists who began acquiring each annual issue are now the proud owners of 11 coins ina remarkable 14-coin collection featuring the floral emblems of each Canadian province and territory.
Even on its own, this coin's purity and low mintage make it a highly sought-after acquisition.
This latest issue features the Arctic's lovely creeping purple saxifrage, also known as French-knot moss, or aupilaktunnguat in Inuktitut, thenative language of Nunavut, which adopted this flower as its floral emblem in 2000.
