What this coin is
Canada’s 1967 Confederation $20 is 90% gold, 18.27 g, 0.5288 oz AGW. It came in the black-leather centennial specimen set. Common enough that most examples trade near melt, not as a rare date.
What is written on the coin
Young Elizabeth II (Machin), ELIZABETH II D.G. REGINA. Reverse: Canadian coat of arms, CANADA, 1967 split by the crown, 20 DOLLARS, A MARI USQUE AD MARE. No second date, no P under the bust.
Metal content (the melt spec)
Mint specification: 18.2733 grams at 90% fine, which is 0.52880 troy oz of pure gold (AGW). Formula: grams × fineness ÷ 31.1034768. Date and mintmark do not change that number. 18.27 g, .900 gold, 0.5288 oz. Came in the 1967 specimen set. The 2017 coin with both 1967 and 2017 on the reverse and a P on the Queen is gold-plated silver — not this coin. Melt today is $2,323.12 per coin at $4,393.20 gold.
Mintage
About 334,000 in the 1967 specimen set. Melt is the usual price, not a scarce commemorative premium.
A little history
First Canadian gold coin since the 1912–1914 $5 and $10, and the last before Maple Leaf bullion in 1979. Issued at $40 for the whole seven-coin set.
How to tell you have this type
Weigh it: about 18.3 g. Only the year 1967. If you see 1967 and 2017, and a P on the obverse, that is gold-plated silver (9.25 g) — not this coin.
Date and mintmark do not change the metal on this page. Collector value is a different market — a shop looks at date, mint, and condition. Melt is the floor.
Same look, different composition: Canada $20 2017 Centennial (gold-plated silver). Use the page that matches what you actually have — karat and weight change the melt.
