FYI, there are two other articles that clarify what I was indicating.

Canadian Press story

Quote:
The 100-kilogram coin was conceived as a showpiece to promote the mint's new line of 99.999 per cent pure one ounce Gold Maple Leaf bullion coins.

That extra nine makes it slightly purer than the 99.99 per cent gold coins offered by competitors.
Another CBC story

A mint spokesperson said the coins will sell for between $2.5 million and $3 million. So far, the mint has received confirmed orders for five coins.
