Comments about Royal Canadian Mint 1/25 Ounce Pure Gold Coin - Orca Whale (2011):

This is a beautiful coin with a nice aboriginal design of an orca whale. I bought this as a collectable, for my wife and I to enjoy. The only negative is the small size otherwise a great coin!

Comments about Royal Canadian Mint 1/25 Ounce Pure Gold Coin - Orca Whale (2011):

I too find this item very tiny! It is smaller than a dime. I know it is gold and high priced, but my main complaint is the great detail and design of the artwork is completely lost on the coin. It is therefor poorly designed. I reocmmend the cougar gold coin. Or try this in silver instead. And how about an "actual size" image on the website?

Very excited about this coin. Clean lines and great example of classic Canadian Native art. Recommended as a collector item and as a low-mid cost bullion purchase. Great buy!

Comments about Royal Canadian Mint 1/25 Ounce Pure Gold Coin - Orca Whale (2011):

There's quite a bit to like about the coin. It's made of pure gold, affordable, there's a low mintage, a great design, and I personally like that a coin this size got a presentation case.

The flip side though, is that it's small. It's a common complaint, and although I did my research before buying it, it's still pretty small.

The size, however, is the only negative thing about the coin. If you want some gold, this is an affordable way to do so. I'm not sure if I would complete the four coin set, but I don't regret this purchase one bit.
