PACKAGING

Your coin is encapsulated and elegantly presented in a black Royal Canadian Mint-branded wood case with a black beauty box.

INSPIRED BY ICONIC ROYAL JEWELS

The reverse features an artistic interpretation of elements from Queen Alexandra’s Kokoshnik Tiara and the Baring Ruby Necklace, a personal acquisition and one of Queen Elizabeth II’s most prominent ruby parures.

EMBLEMATIC ART

Throughout your coin’s reverse, the floral scrollwork beautifully incorporates Canada’s maple leaf and England’s Tudor rose.

HISTORIC OBVERSE

In honour of the centenary anniversary, your coin’s obverse marks the return of the fourth (2003-2023) effigy of Queen Elizabeth II—the final one of her reign, and, for many Canadians, the definitive image of a monarch who witnessed so many pivotal moments in Canada’s history.

DID YOU KNOW?

For the opening of Canada’s Parliament in 1977, Queen Elizabeth II paired the Baring Ruby Necklace with the all-diamond Queen Alexandra’s Kokoshnik Tiara, an heirloom she inherited from Queen Mary in 1953. The tiara had made its Parliament Hill debut two decades earlier: she had worn it there in 1957, when she became the first sovereign to open Canada’s Parliament. On that earlier occasion, she also donned her coronation gown, whose embroidery incorporates national emblems—a theme echoed in this coin’s floral scrollwork.
