Royal Canadian Mint Gold Maple Leaf Appraisal

Privy Mark Gold Maple Leaf Coin (1/10 troy ounce)

This item is a Privy Mark Gold Maple Leaf coin, housed within a clear, rigid plastic slab or holder, accompanied by a 'Certificate of Authenticity'. The coin itself is circular, exhibiting a rich, bright gold color, indicative of its high gold content. The certificate states it is made of '.9999 pure gold' and has a 'weight of one-tenth troy ounce (3.131 grams)'. The obverse of the coin, visible in the image, features a rendered image of Queen Elizabeth II, along with the inscription 'ELIZABETH II', the denomination '5 DOLLARS', and likely a specific year, though the full year is not clearly legible from the provided image but appears to be '199?'. The 'Privy Mark' aspect of the coin is explicitly mentioned in the certificate, suggesting a special or limited edition mintage detail often found on commemorative coins. The certificate also specifies that it is 'ONE of a minting of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND', highlighting its limited production run. It is stated to be 'struck by the Royal Canadian Mint with the highest standard and quality supervision'. The plastic holder appears to be in good condition, protecting the coin from environmental factors and handling. No significant wear or damage is visible on the coin itself, given its protected state within the holder. The overall presentation, with the coin secured and certified, emphasizes its collectible nature and intrinsic value as a precious metal bullion coin. The design details visible on the coin, such as the portrait and inscriptions, suggest a contemporary style consistent with modern coinage. The craftsmanship is indicated to be of the 'highest standard' by the Royal Canadian Mint.
