Description
Theme
“The Crown represents the basic political ideals which all Canadians share. It stands for the idea that individual people matter more than theories; that we are all subject to the rule of law. These ideals are guaranteed by a common loyalty, through the Sovereign, to community and country.” – Queen Elizabeth II
Crafted in 99.99% pure silver, this selectively gold-plated dollar features a design that pays homage to Queen Elizabeth II; to her decades-long reign; and to her unwavering commitment to her role as the embodiment of the Crown.
Design
Enhanced with gold plating, the reverse design by Canadian artist Francois Guitard features the Imperial State Crown framed by maple leaves and roses that represent the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. A Queen Elizabeth rose and a maple leaf also appear at the edges of a banner that bears the face value, “DOLLAR”, while “CANADA” is inscribed at the top.
Double dated to commemorate the historic reign of Queen Elizabeth II, the tribute obverse is marked by a Tudor rose and features the four effigies that have appeared on Canadian coins since 1953 (left to right): the 2003-2022 effigy by Susanna Blunt; the 1990-2002 effigy by Dora de Pédery-Hunt; the 1965-1989 effigy by Arnold Machin; and the 1953-1964 effigy by Mary Gillick.
