Royal Canadian Mint

The Royal Canadian Mint (English, RCM) or, because of the Canadian state bilingualism, also Monnaie royale canadienne (French, MRC); German Royal Canadian Mint; is the Canadian mint founded on January 2, 1908 and based in Ottawa.

The Mint was founded in 1908 as a branch of the British Royal Mint. In 1931 it came under the control of the Canadian Treasury Department. It has been independent as a Crown Corporation since 1969. The Winnipeg location finally opened in 1971.

The headquarters of the Royal Canadian Mint has had national historic site status since 1979.

In addition to its own Canadian circulation, collector and investment coins, it also produces coins in 74 foreign currencies.

For purchases involving high order volumes, it is always advisable to have a non-binding discussion with your trusted retailer in advance to clarify availability and legal framework conditions.

The classic investment coins from the Royal Canadian Mint are manufactured in the highest possible fineness of 999.9 gold and 999.9 silver. The best-known coin is the Maple Leaf, which is minted in various weights in gold, silver, platinum and palladium with the highest fineness of 999.9 and even 9999.9 in special series.

Unfortunately, this is not possible. We recommend never changing/working on investment coins mechanically, as you will only receive the lower “melting value/melting rate” when you sell them later.

Investment coins should always be kept safe and protected. Depending on the value of the goods, the coins should ideally be stored in an insured depot. Please find out more about the GOLDINVEST precious metal depot.
