Pure Gold Coin – The Curious Marten

Shiny and tiny—this little gold coin and its baby marten will capture your heart.

Captured on our smallest (14 mm) blank and in 99.99% pure gold, the baby marten (or kit) is furry, energetic, and oh so adorable! This cute resident of Canada’s boreal forests will grow up to be a solitary hunter and an agile forager that deftly moves among the trees in search of berries, nuts, insects and small mammals. But before reaching maturity, a marten kit is reliant on its mother until the fourth month—that’s when it is finally ready to make its first foray out of the den and into the forest, as seen on this coin.

Struck on a 1/20 oz. gold blank for greater affordability, this baby animal portrait is crafted in 99.99% pure gold.
