The History and Value of Your Canadian $5 Gold Coin (1912-1914)
These coins are not just pieces of gold; they are Canadian history. Struck during the reign of King George V, the $5 gold coin (alongside the $10 coin) was the first gold circulation currency produced by the Royal Canadian Mint in Ottawa during the years 1912, 1913, and 1914.
Understanding the Gold Content:
Each coin has a 90% Gold composition (0.900 Fineness) and weighs 8.359 grams. This means that each coin contains exactly 0.24187 troy ounces (or 7.523 grams) of pure, fine gold.
Important Note for Sellers: While these coins have a rich history, 401Gold purchases them based solely on their melt value (gold content), not their numismatic value. We are a precious metals dealer, not a coin collector. Our high payout is based on the current live gold price for the 7.523 grams of fine gold they contain.
