Canadian 100$ Gold Coin
These beautiful commemorative 100$ gold coins have first been issued in 1976. The obverse features Queen Elizabeth II and the reverse has a different design every year. Unfortunately over the years their gold content has been changed a few times. Below you will find two tables. The first one is a short summary of the different gold contents sorted after the date the coins were struck. If you are not sure if your coin is a 22K or a 14K coin please have a look at the second table. We have collected and provide you with information about every 100$ Commemorative Gold Coin that exists and that we buy. The 14KT coins issued since 2004 have a lower weight and do therefore contain less gold than the older one. Most of our competitors will pay the same amount of money for old ones even though they contain more gold.
