Goldline International, one of the largest companies providing physical precious metals like gold to collectors and investors in the United States announced that it will be the exclusive dealer for a new Royal Canadian Mint ¼ ounce gold bullion coin commemorating the bicentennial of the War of 1812.
The gold coins are 24 karat (.9999 fine) gold with their weight and purity guaranteed by the Royal Canadian Mint.
“Goldline is honored to be the exclusive dealer for this beautiful gold coin that commemorates an important chapter in North American history,” said Brian Crumbaker, Chief Executive Officer of Goldline.
The War of 1812 was the first time that America declared war on another nation, and was a result of a protest against perceived violations of the U.S.’s national sovereignty by the British.
As for the design, the front of the coin features Queen Elizabeth II, with an eagle facing a lion on the reverse, with the shield of military conflict emblazoned with the Canadian Maple Leaf in between the two. The two characters represent the American forces and those under the command of the British respectively.
