My Collection
Highlights:
Intrigue is crafted into every aspect of this coin—from its minute
proportions to its intricate engraving, pure gold composition and limited
mintage. This keepsake is highly collectable; it’s one of the Mint’s most
accessible gold coins ever.
Coin design:
A flock of Canada Geese flying in their distinctive V formation. Previous coins in the series: 2004 Moose, 2005 Voyageur, 2006 Cowboy, 2007 Wolf, 2008 de Havilland beaver, 2009 Red
Maple and 2010 RCMP.
An uplifting sight from
Canada’s endless skies.
A flock of geese flying in V formation is a sign of
changing seasons—a sight that also symbolizes
Canada’s untamed grandeur.
The Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) is arguably
the most widely known goose species in North
America that’s readily recognized by its distinctive
black head and neck with white “chinstrap”. Males
are generally larger that females, growing 76 to
110 cm (30 to 43 in) long with a wingspan of 127
to 170 cm (50 to 67 in).
Couples are known to mate for life and nurture
their young for several months after hatching.
Their nests are usually located in elevated areas
near streams and ponds.
The Great Lakes region is home to a large population
of Canada Geese. In spring and autumn, the goose’s
distinctive honking call fills the air, alerting residents
along migratory flight-paths of the wondrous sight
passing overhead.
My first coin in this collection. Nicely deailed, great to look at. My son will appreciate this work of art when he's older. Low mintage, reasonable price given gold content. I was surprised at how small it was when I received it. But I think other Gold coins are about that size too. Other than that, highly recommended for Gold collectors!!

This coin originally wasn't high on my want list as it seemed such a common subject, and without any signicant difference from other geese related coins. But once I saw it first hand, I changed my mind. The website picture doesn't do justice to the richness of the gold, nor really exhibit how amazing the detailing is on such a small coin. If you are on the fence about purchasing this coin, do yourself a favour. Find a fellow collector who already owns this coin, or check it out at your post office and/or coin shop, then decide. This a nice under-stated coin.

Great coin all around. Don't understand why people complain about it's size. It has always been this size in the series and the mint lists it's size. Anyway, this coin like most others have said is well done and looks great. Great coin for keeping this series going strong.

The real size should be clearly dispayed on line. This is a pretty coin but tiny, much smaller a thinner then a penny. I was very surprised.

I agree with the reviews! This is one nice coin and the geese is very nicely done. It comes it a nice box, which feels solid and doesn't look cheap.

Great coin, great design, great packaging! Glad to see the mintage reduced. This one should sell out fast. Please know the size of this coin before buying (see the specifications tab and get out a ruler). It is small, but there is nothing wrong with that at all. It is a popular series 1/25th and well collected.
