One of the most famous royal
pearl heirlooms, the beautiful Lover's Knot Tiara was commissioned by
Queen Mary and passed down to her granddaughter, Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth II. It inspired the rhodium-plated design on this 2021 fine
silver coin, which doubles as a special tribute to
Her Majesty on
the year of her 95th birthday. Paired with a special four-effigy
obverse that marks the occasion, the tiara-themed reverse is "dripping"
with mother of pearl and sparkling Swarovski® crystals.
It's an exquisite jewellery-inspired celebration of the long-reigning Queen of Canada. Order today!
