Detailed description
"Great Explorers" series - Pierre Gaultier de La Vérendrye - 2016
Exclusive gold coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2016 in top proof quality in the purest 99.99% gold purity. This coin is the fifth of six coins issued from 2012 to 2017 in the Great Explorers series.
The coin depicts on its reverse the French-Canadian soldier, explorer and fur trader Pierre Gaultier de Varennes et de La Verendrye (1685-1749) and his Indian advisor Auchagah walking along the rocky shoreline of the Lakes of the Woods (Lake of the Woods on the border of Minnesota, USA, and the provinces of Ontario and Manitoba, Canada). Dressed in a military uniform including a beaver fur hat, La Vérendrye holds a compass in his right hand and is armed with a sword and musket, the butt of which he lightly supports himself as he walks, while his attention remains firmly on the horizon. The third member of this expedition stands beside the canoe on the shore. The outline of Fort St. Charles, surrounded by woods, looms in the background. Inscriptions on the coin include "CANADA" on the left, the year of issue "2016" on the left, the artist's initials "GG" on the right, and the face value "200 DOLLARS" below the design.
The obverse shows a traditional portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanne Blunt with the inscriptions "ELIZABETH II" and "D G REGINA".
The coin comes in a burgundy leatherette box along with a numbered certificate of authenticity in a limited edition of only 1,000 pieces for the entire world!
