Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is the 2019 Gold Canadian Wild Horse coin?

It is a 1/4 Troy oz gold coin produced by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2019 as part of the Animal Portrait Series — specifically the third design in that series, which launched in 2017. The reverse features an original wild horse portrait by artist Denis Mayer Jr., while the obverse carries Susanna Blunt's fourth-generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, first introduced in 2003. The coin carries a face value of $10 CAD, which is backed by the Government of Canada.

What is the gold purity and weight of this coin?

The coin contains 1/4 Troy oz of gold at a purity of .9999 fine — commonly referred to as four-nines fine — making it among the purest gold coin standards available. Its diameter is 20 mm. The reverse inscriptions confirm these specifications, reading CANADA, 2019, 9999, FINE GOLD, and 1/4 OZ OR PUR.

What gives this coin its unique appearance compared to standard bullion?

The 2019 Wild Horse features a reverse proof finish, which means the background fields are frosted while the raised design elements carry a mirror-like polish. This contrast reverses the look of a traditional proof coin and gives the wild horse portrait an especially bold, three-dimensional appearance that sets it apart from conventional bullion strikes.

How do I know this coin is authentic?

The coin is struck by the Royal Canadian Mint, one of the world's most respected sovereign mints, and carries a government-backed $10 CAD face value. Its reverse inscriptions — including 9999 and FINE GOLD — are struck directly into the coin. At American Alternative Assets, coins are sourced and handled to preserve their integrity, and they are available in individual packaging, tubes, or boxes of 800 coins.

Is this coin eligible to be held in a precious metals IRA?

Gold coins meeting a minimum fineness of .9995 and produced by a national government mint are generally permitted in a self-directed precious metals IRA under IRS guidelines. The 2019 Gold Canadian Wild Horse, at .9999 fine and issued by the Royal Canadian Mint, meets those fineness and mint-of-origin criteria. Confirm current IRS rules and custodian requirements before including any coin in a retirement account.
