Set of Gold Coin Bars 5 × 1/10 oz Gold Royal Canadian Mint 2016

The 5 × 1/10 oz Gold Bar Coin Set Royal Canadian Mint 2016 is a unique investment and collectible offering produced by the Royal Canadian Mint. The set consists of five gold bar coins, each weighing 1/10 oz, struck from pure Au 9999 gold. Thanks to their original form combining the features of both a bar and a coin, this issue stands out in terms of both aesthetics and functionality.

Bar coins are an interesting alternative to traditional bullion coins. Their rectangular format refers to classic investment bars, while the face value assigned by the issuer makes each piece official legal tender guaranteed by the Government of Canada. With a total weight of 1/2 oz of gold, this set is ideal both as part of an investment portfolio and as an elegant gift for special occasions.

Each bar coin was struck from 1/10 oz of Au 9999 gold and measures 19.7 × 12.2 mm. The complete set contains five identical pieces with a total weight of 1/2 oz, produced by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2016.
