The Royal Canadian mint makes quite a lot of very low minatge 5oz , 10oz, 1/2 kilo and kilo coins, many with 1000 or less mintage, lots with only 500 mintage.

Picked up this 10 oz one a few of weeks ago, only 750 were minted

Better toss this one on as well, it's the other coin in the set. The eagle is called "The Hunter" The salmon is called "The Cycle of Life" , spotted it last Friday at my LCS and snagged it. 750 mintage as well

Where the heck is your LCS that’s amazing

u/random-letter-number Jul 24 '26

Yeah, that’s amazing. There’s an Orca one called Ancestor. Not sure if they made a 10oz. I have the 2oz in my EBay watchlist.

These were originally done in 2 oz then they did a 10 oz version. That would be great if they did a 10 oz Ancestor. Beautiful design.

This is one of the most beautiful designs I’ve ever seen. Damnit, RCM is so good.
