Canadian 99999 Gold
Call of the Wild
Bullion Coin Series

---

2014 to 2020

---

In 2014, the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) introduced the 999.99 Gold 'Call of the Wild' bullion coin series, the purest 'five 9s' gold bullion coin on the market.

Its reverse side features iconic wildlife that inhabits the Canadian wilderness.

One important but often overlooked fact about the coin is that the curved lines found on the reverse of every coin represent the sound waves of each animal's 'Call of the Wild.'

In addition, each coin features the Maple Leaf Security Mark.

In 2013, the RCM introduced the Micro-Laser Engraved Security Mark on the 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf bullion coin, which helps to make the coins extremely hard to counterfeit.

In 2014, the Royal Canadian Mint started to add this feature to the reverse side of all the one-troy-ounce bullion coins.

The Micro-Engraved Maple Leaf security mark was designed and produced by the Royal Canadian Mint laser technology. 

Inside the laser-engraved maple leaf is a "numeral" indicating the coin's "Year of Issue," which is more easily visible under magnification.

In 2013, the Royal Canadian Mint started to add this security feature to the 1oz. Canadian Gold Maple Leaf bullion coin's reverse side.

The 1oz. 99999 Call of the Wild gold bullion coin has had the security mark on its reverse side since 2014.

Assay Certificate Card

The Assay Certificate Card is another security feature of the Canadian "Call of the Wild" 999.99 (per mille) Gold Bullion Coin is its credit card-style packaging, which includes a certificate of purity signed by the Mint's Chief Assayer.
