Canada 2010 Caribou 25 Cents 0.5 Gram Pure .9999 Gold Proof 

Canada 2010 Gold Caribou 0.5 Gram ProofWorld's Smallest, Purest Gold Proof!
In an effort to make proof gold coins affordable for everyone, the Royal Canadian Mint has just announced its smallest gold coin ever! Aware that rising gold prices have made purchases of this most-desirable of all precious metals prohibitive for many who could previously easily afford gold, the Mint has responded with this reasonably priced investment piece, with a handsome animal motif - minted in gold that's 99.99% pure! (Would you believe, less than a decade ago one could get an ounce of gold for less than $275!)

Even better, the historic Caribou design has been retained for this latest Canadian quarter - and the first ever gold quarter! With its limited mintage of only 15,000, don't let this handsome, smallest gold gem escape - get it while you can!

Availability Note - This coin was just announced by the Mint, with a release date tentatively scheduled for late-August or early September. We are currently taking, confirming and guaranteeing orders for this coin now. Because of this delay, we will split this coin off onto a separate order. Therefore, we ask you to place a separate order for this coin, and we thank you in advance for your patience!

We are very proud to bring you this gorgeous, low-mintage (only 5,000) silver gem issued by the nation of the Cook Islands.

This innovative coin features the bust or head of Michelangelo's famous David, meticulously carved of the same white, Carrara marble from which the original is sculpted, embedded in the coin!
