<p>Canada has just dropped a shiny new gold coin, and although it has a face value of $500, you&#8217;ll have to pay way more to get your hands on one.</p>
<p>The Royal Canadian Mint announced the brand-new <a href="https://www.mint.ca/en/shop/coins/2025/heart-diamond-pure-gold-diamond-shaped-coin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Heart Diamond — Pure Gold Diamond Shaped Coin</a>. The coin is the latest addition to a series of coins first released in 2020 and is made with 99.99 per cent pure gold. The coin is far from your average design — it&#8217;s heart-shaped, three-dimensional, and shaped like a diamond. The largest facet features an effigy of His Majesty King Charles III.</p>

<p>&#8220;The fifth and final diamond shape in this show-stopping series is truly a labour of love, for the heart-cut shape is one of the most difficult and complex shapes to achieve,&#8221; reads the description.</p>
<p>And if that&#8217;s not precious enough, it&#8217;s also set with a sparkling 0.23 carat ideal-cut heart diamond that has been graded by the De Beers Institute of Diamonds. The coin measures 30.1 mm in length, 32 mm in width, and 19.8 mm in height.</p>

<p>Despite weighing in at just 145.4 g, it comes with a hefty price tag. Although it has a face value of $500, it currently retails for an astounding $29,249.95. Can&#8217;t quite justify spending nearly $30,000 coin in one go? The Mint does have a six-month payment plan.</p>
<p>Serious coin collectors will have to act fast, though, as only 150 of these coins will be available worldwide.</p>
<p>There is a more affordable option.</p>
