“Gold!” It was the golden promise that lured more than 30,000 fortune seekers to Yukon's Klondike region, and you get a sense of the experience with this pan-shaped (concave) pure silver coin. This is one of the enduring romantic images of the Klondike Gold Rush, and the gold-plated nuggets engraved at the bottom of your pan evoke this critical moment. The influx of gold rushers, however, also forever altered the land, uprooting and repressing the traditional ways of living of the Indigenous peoples who lived in the area for millennia prior to the arrival of settlers. Indigenous communities living in what became Yukon still grapple with this legacy today.
Shaped like a prospector's pan! Selective gold plating frames this snapshot of the past and adds a realistic gleam to this gold discovery.
Special features:
A gold frame! Crafted from 1 oz. of 99.99% pure silver, your coin also features a gold-plated rim that provides a rich colour contrast and helps frame this snapshot of the past.
