Indigenous communities living in what became Yukon still grapple with this legacy today. 99.99% pure silver with selective gold plating. Matt Bowen (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse).

Nuggets, flakes and gold dust that had eroded from the bedrock and was carried downstream into the smaller tributaries of the Klondike River.

Since gold is heavier than sand and dirt, those gold pieces would sink into creek beds and through layers of sediment, where it would settle and collect over time. Gold panning was the simplest method of recovering gold, and for determining whether there was enough of it to make digging worthwhile. Dirt and water were scooped up in the pan then swirled around, so the water would flow up the sides and carry sediment awaywith a little luck, the only thing left in the pan would be gold! Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
