The gold pan has been used to locate gold for thousands of years and is an iconic symbol of the Canadian gold rush. This 1/25 ounce fractional pure gold collectable coin features an image of the traditional gold pan in action. It celebrates the 150th anniversary of the Canadian gold rush that began in British Columbia in 1861. The pan has remained the symbol of the gold rush dream: one prospector, alone in the wilderness, armed with only a pan the big dream of striking it rich.
