Gold Gyrfalcon FAQs

What is a Gold Canadian Gyrfalcon coin?

The gyrfalcon has been prized by humans as a hunting companion since ancient times. Associated not only with falconry but also with royalty and nobility, and a celebrated circumpolar Arctic coastal dweller, the gyrfalcon—the largest of the falcon species—makes a fitting subject for the Royal Canadian Mint’s stunning 2016 gold coin. A Gold Canadian Gyrfalcon coin is made of 1/4 oz of 0.9999 gold and features a beautifully detailed gyrfalcon on the back side.

Who designed the Gold Gyrfalcon coin?

The Gold Gyrfalcon coin was designed by a Canadian nature artist named Steve Hepburn. The design shows a gyrfalcon soaring through the air. Viewed in profile from its left side, the gyrfalcon is presented with its powerful wings drawn forward. Its large eye, sharply curved beak, and sharp claws are highlighted in this stunning portrayal. The detailed coloration of its plumage is captured in the purest gold using a variety of engraving techniques. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

What is the Royal Canadian Mint?

The Royal Canadian Mint is the mint of Canada, which means they’re responsible for producing the coins that are in circulation. Like the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf, the Royal Canadian Mint Gold Gyrfalcon goes through a long design and minting process before entering circulation.

Where can I buy Canadian Gold Gyrfalcon coins?

What percentage of gold is the Gold Gyrfalcon coin?

The metals that make up a coin are important, and the Gold Gyrfalcon coin is made of 1/4 oz of 0.9999 gold, which means you get a pure product that looks great and carries value. If you find a Gold Gyrfalcon coin that doesn’t have the “9999” stamp on the back of the coin, it’s an indication that it’s counterfeit.

What is the face value of the Gold Canadian Gyrfalcon coin?

The face value is one of the details you’ll find right on the front of the Gold Gyrfalcon coin, which is the side with Queen Elizabeth. The face value of the Gold Gyrfalcon is $10 (CAN).

Is a Gold Gyrfalcon coin a good investment?

Coins can be a good investment, but the actual value of a coin can fluctuate based on current market conditions and changes in the price of gold. Whether you’re investing in a Gold Gyrfalcon or the Canadian Palladium Maple Leaf coin, you have plenty of options. Often, gold is used to hedge against inflation and protect savings. This is because, historically, gold has held its value over extended periods of time and can be viewed as less risky compared to other forms of investment.

Can a Gold Gyrfalcon coin be added to a precious metals IRA?

Yes, a Gold Gyrfalcon coin can be added to a precious metals IRA. The IRS allows four different metals to be added to an IRA, with gold being one of them. By adding gold to your IRA, you can diversify your portfolio to protect your retirement account from economic events like inflation or currency devaluation.
