Canadian Gold Hoard Reserve

A Treasure Trove of Canadian History.

In 2012, a remarkable discovery was made deep in the vaults of the Bank of Canada. Over 30,000 rare Canadian $10 and $5 gold coins from 1912 to 1914 were found, providing a glimpse into Canada's rich history and heritage. Moreover, unmistakable proof of the gold rush days that also occurred in Canada.  These coins were part of the Canadian Gold Hoard Reserve, a unique collection that has become a treasure trove of Canadian history.

The Canadian Gold Hoard Reserve was established after World War I when the Canadian government issued an order in council in 1914. Subsequently, it required all banks to send their gold coins, including Canadian $10 and $5 gold coins, to the Royal Mint in Ottawa.
