This
99.99% pure silver special edition dollar marks the 100th anniversary of Queen
Elizabeth II’s birth by presenting a uniquely Canadian tribute: a
representation of the Diamond Maple Leaf Brooch worn by Queen Elizabeth II as a
symbol of her personal connection to Canada, accompanied by the Royal Cypher
(top) that served as her personal device. A flourish of filigree crowns the
noble leaf, symbolizing grace and heritage, and includes 13 maple leaves (one
for each province and territory) that lie nestled in the filigree’s negative
space—a subtle-but-profound tribute threaded through the artistry, much like
Queen Elizabeth II’s steadfast presence in Canada’s story.
The
birthday tribute extends to the coin’s obverse, which features the effigy of
Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt—a fixture on Canada’s coins from 2003 until
2023.
While the mintage of the regular 2026 proof silver dollar marking the
anniversary of the Royal Canadian Legion has a mintage of 35,000, mintage of
this special edition coin is limited to just 17,500. The coin is struck in three quarters of an
ounce of fine silver and comes presented in a black presentation case. HST/GST exempt.
Queen Elizabeth II
was born on April 21, 1926, and acceded to the throne on February 6, 1952 upon
the death of her father King George VI.
Her coronation was held on June 2, 1953.
Her Majesty ruled with grace and dignity for more than 70 years until
her death on September 8th, 2022.
