Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is the Silver Canadian Goshawk coin?

It is a 1.5 troy oz (46.66 g) silver bullion coin produced by the Royal Canadian Mint as part of the Canadian Wildlife Bullion series. The reverse displays a goshawk in flight, while the obverse carries the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. It holds a face value of $8 CAD and is official legal tender backed by the Government of Canada.

What is the silver purity and weight of this coin?

Each coin contains exactly 1.5 troy oz (46.66 g) of 99.99% pure silver — a four-nines fineness standard. The coin measures 38 mm in diameter.

How can I verify this coin is authentic?

The Royal Canadian Mint incorporates dual security features into every coin: precisely rendered radial lines on both the obverse and reverse, and a micro-engraved maple leaf that includes the two-digit year of issue '21'. These features are designed to be difficult to replicate and serve as built-in authentication elements.

Is there a limited mintage for the Silver Canadian Goshawk?

No fixed mintage has been set for this coin. The Royal Canadian Mint strikes it on a demand-driven basis, meaning production is tied to bullion market demand rather than a capped collector quantity.

Is this coin eligible for a Precious Metals IRA?

Yes. Silver coins with a fineness of .9999 (four nines) that are produced by a recognized national government mint generally meet IRS purity requirements for inclusion in a self-directed Precious Metals IRA. The Silver Canadian Goshawk meets that fineness standard at .9999 fine silver and is issued by the Royal Canadian Mint, a government mint.

How will my order be packaged and shipped?

Silver Canadian Goshawk coins ship in original Royal Canadian Mint tubes, which hold multiple coins and protect them during transit. American Alternative Assets ships orders in this mint-tube format to maintain coin condition from the point of production through to delivery.
