Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) gold products represent a cornerstone of precious metal investing. These offerings combine Canada's gold mining heritage with modern production techniques. RCM gold serves as a store of value, a hedge against economic uncertainty, and a means of portfolio diversification.

Premium over spot price
Product type (coin vs bar)
