1/2 oz Pure Gold Coin - 100th Anniversary of CN Rail - Mintage: 1,000 (2019)

Its locomotives were the driving engines of development, while its tracks are the ribbons of steel that are woven into the fabric of a nation. Since its incorporation in 1919, the Canadian National Railway Company (CN) has left its imprint on a modern Canada. The freight trains of today are the continuation of a storied railway tradition. And it began in the Age of Steam, when CN’s network connected Canadians from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and supported the communities in between. From transportation to telecommunications, CN’s 100-year history is synonymous with a century of progress in Canada. To commemorate CN’s centennial year, this 99.99% pure gold coin features a classic railway design on its reverse. The different locomotives are a tribute to a century of driving innovation, framed by the tracks that continue to be the backbone of our economy.
