Comment
100 years ago, the completion of the transcontinental railroad opened the way to the development of Western Canada. The Royal Canadian Mint proudly strikes a two-ounce coin of rare weight and value in 99.99% pure gold to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the completion of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, the modern engineering feat that linked Canada's east coast to the Pacific coast.Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a burgundy double-shell case featuring the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case is accompanied by a black protective box.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, which was a historic railway that connected Winnipeg, Manitoba, with Prince Rupert, British Columbia, in Canada. The railway played a significant role in the development of the country's western region and was completed in 1914. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II, along with an image of a steam locomotive and a maple leaf, symbolizing the railway's importance in Canadian history.
