If you are just looking for pretty gold coins... may not be much of a long term investment though.

Thanks! I do like this one. Maybe one for each grandchild. What do you think?

That Caribou coin is nice, and the Caribou are in the news up here because oil development in Alberta is intruding on their migration routes.
Personally I like the cheaper coin showing HMS Shannon defeating USS Chesapeake during the war of 1812.
Shannon sailed from Halifax and dragged the Chesapeake back here.
Some nice local history remembered.

The tree huggers put up big fights along those lines about the Alaska Pipeline. They discovered that
caribou are smart enough to walk under or over the pipe.

Yeah, I know that's what the rape the land types say, but alas, that
isn't the problem or the solution.

In Alberta it opened the way for predators like wolves to use the new roads to access areas where the Caribou had it all to themselves.
Any, the documentary claims that the caribou now avoid those areas that are opened up. No one less than David Suzuki said so.

Smarter than the average Nova Scotian.

Would you like my address, I could use a $1300 Christmas present.

Friend of mine bought a used 50 ft racing sailboat back in the early
90s. When they unstepped the mast for maintenance they found a
Krugerrand underneath, apparently a good luck thing in some circles.

As an FYI, if you do a Google seearch on Krugerrand you will find a
lot of buying options.
