Established in 1885, Banff is considered the oldest national park in Canada. As the park celebrated its 100th anniversary, The Royal Canadian Mint issued a beautiful tribute coin for collectors to enjoy.

Provident Metals now has certified perfect 1985 $100 Canada National Parks Centenary Gold Coins available to purchase online.
