Description
The Royal Canadian Mint opened on January 2nd 1908 as the Ottawa branch of the Royal Mint in London. Its first coins were fifty cent pieces, but it also produced gold sovereigns between 1908 and 1919 inclusive. It changed to Canadian ownership on December 1st 1931. In addition to producing coins, it acts as a gold refiner, and produces maple leaf bullion coins in gold, silver and platinum.
Naturally its website is in French and English.
