The Klondike Gold Rush (1896-1899) officially began on August 16, 1896. On this historic day, four family members (an American prospector named George Carmack, his Tagish wife Kate Carmack (Shaaw Tláa), her brother Skookum Jim (Keish), and their nephew Dawson Charlie (K̲áa Goox̱), discovered gold on the banks of Rabbit Creek, now known as Bonanza Creek. It is quite possible that Skookum Jim located the gold first but agreed to list George as the official discoverer of the gold because they all feared that authorities would not recognize an indigenous claimant. After the initial discovery, a stampede of hopeful gold grabbers converged around the Klondike region, estimated at about 100,000 people overall. “Boom Towns” soon sprung up along the travel routes to accommodate prospectors, and several of them are still active today. Sadly, the Native Hän people suffered greatly from the rush, as they were forcibly relocated to a reserve to make way for the Klondikers. As a result, many indigenous people were permanently displaced and some even died. While the Klondike Gold Rush is indisputably a significant chapter in Canadian history, its legacy remains understandably complex.

The obverse of the concave coin showcases the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by inscriptions.

The reverse of the silver proof coin is shaped like a sifting pan, with a small pile of minerals sitting atop a pool of water in the center. Four gold-plated nuggets shine brightly in the middle of the pile. A gorgeous gold-plated rim encompasses the entire design.
