Description
This is the third coin in the Royal Canadian Mint’s Klondike Gold Rush bullion series, minted to commemorate the aforementioned Klondike Gold Rush.
As the Gold Rush went on and people rushed to Dawson City, work began to implement the White Pass and Yukon Route Railway. It was a marvel of engineering that spanned 175 kilometers, from Skagway, Alaska to Whitehorse, Yukon. It took a total workforce of 35,000 men to overcome some of the most challenging terrain and compete the “Scenic Railway of the World.”
The White Pass and Yukon Route Railway was reopened as a tourist attraction and excursions continue to run on the lower portion of the original line. It is a lasting reminder of the Klondike Gold Rush era.
This coin, consisting of 1 oz 99999 fine gold, is a fitting commemoration of the Gold Rush.
Please note, this item does not come with an assay certificate. It ships in an individual coin sleeve.
