The Royal Canadian Mint's spirit of innovation shines bright with this all-new pure gold coin featuring the caribou design from the traditional 25-cent circulation coin.
The 25-cent coin that entered circulation in 1937 as part of a new, modern coin series was introduced to better reflect Canada’s national identity. The Arctic, as essential a theme now as then, was the inspiration for Canadian sculptor Emanuel Hahn (1881-1957) who created this enduring image of a caribou; a design that has not changed in 73 years. During his career, Emanuel Hahn created a number of Canadian coin designs, including the designs for the "Voyageur" silver dollar of 1935 and the Nova Scotian racing schooner “Bluenose” on the 10-cent circulation coin.
Crafted in 99.99% fine gold, this coin is the smallest gold coin ever offered by the Royal Canadian Mint. It's a proud and very collectible keepsake of Canada.
It is a perfect example of setting Canada's cultural heritage. This is a great collection to speak of.

What does the 'Mintage' figure represent? Is this how many are put into circulation?

The mintage represent the total number of coins that were produced by the Mint. In this case, the Royal Canadian Mint.
