2011 1/2 gram gold Cougar

Here is one of the smallest coins you are likely to ever see - a 1/2 gram coin. Even smaller than the 1/25 ounce gold coins, these are the smallest ever made by the Royal Canadian Mint. The coins are 99.99% pure gold and have a 25 cent face value.

This coin features a cougar's head on the coin. My first thought was that it was odd to have such a large animal featured on such a small coin. Don't get me wrong, I really like the design and think it looks great - I just thought they would try to market a small coin like this by putting on a small animal. Either way, I am still very glad I bought this.
