Comments about Royal Canadian Mint 0.5 g Fine Gold Coin - Caribou (2010):

I bought this for my boyfriend as he loves Canadiana. I was initially concerned that it was too small but after I saw it, I believe its size is part of its charm and rarity. I bought the 3Xs LED magnifying glass and now I am hooked! I have just bought 6 more - one for each of my nieces and nephews and 1 for myself!

Comments about Royal Canadian Mint 0.5 g Fine Gold Coin - Caribou (2010):

Yes it is small but the Royal Mint makes that clear by showing the size of a real quarter in the background. Every time I show this coin people love it. The detail is great for such a small piece. I also agree with the previous comments that it's an affordable way to own a golds coin.

Comments about Royal Canadian Mint 0.5 g Fine Gold Coin - Caribou (2010):

Truly a stunning achievement here. everyone i show this coin to is just amazed at how detailed this small coin actually is. yes, it is a small coin, read the specifications; the smaller the weight of a coin, the more expensive the materials cost will be... just like everything else... think about it.
