DID YOU KNOW?

While St. Edward’s Crown is only ever used for the coronation, the Imperial State Crown (or Crown of State) is worn on formal occasions, such as the State Opening of (British) Parliament.

The State Crown has been replaced 10 times since the Restoration in 1660. The one depicted on this coin was made for the coronation of King George VI in 1937; it is a replica of the crown designed for Queen Elizabeth II’s great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria, in 1838.

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.
