They should have kept the finish to the same as their 1 kilo coin. It looks more like gold painted papier mache. I am also surprised that they only put a million dollar face value, having ten times more gold than the Royal Canadian Mint’s 100kg gold coin, but having the same face value… So they created the first 1 tonne gold coin, but the second one million dollar coin.
