The coin is a $50 denomination but worth closer to $3,500

A new coin from the Royal Canadian Mint is made with gold that is completely sourced from a mine in northeastern Ontario.

The maple leaf bullion coin is only the third single-sourced gold coin ever from the Royal Canadian Mint.

It features an effigy of King Charles III by artist Steven Rosati on one side and a maple leaf on the other.

While the coin is a $50 denomination, because it’s an ounce of almost pure gold, its actual value is closer to $3,500.
