2014 Canada $100 Quebec and Charlottetown Conferences 14k Gold Coin

This stunningly engraved, finely finished 100-Dollar gold coin celebrates the 150th Anniversary of the Charlottetown and Quebec Conferences-important steps on Canada's path to nationhood.

This $100 coin is certified to be 14 karat gold with a diameter of 27 millimetres and a metal weight of 12 grams.
The reverse design by Luc Normandin features finely detailed images of the buildings in which the Charlottetown and Quebec Conferences took place, inspired by nineteenth-century engravings. The top half of the design features the Charlottetown Colonial Building, now called Province House. In the lower half of the image, we see Quebec Parliament Buildings that stood in the place now occupied by the Chateau Frontenac. Again bringing to life the intricate detail of the original engraving, this image presents the building from atop a cannon-lined battlement, overlooking the harbour at Cape Diamant. The two images are separated by a scroll featuring the text "CHARLOTTETOWN 1864 QUEBEC."
The reverse is engraved with the word "CANADA," the date "2014," and the face value of "100 DOLLARS." The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
