2022 Canadian $300 Queen Elizabeth II’s Royal Cypher - Pure Platinum Coin

2022 Canadian $300 Queen Elizabeth II’s Royal Cypher - Pure Platinum Coin

A pure platinum commemorative tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, her reign and her relationship with Canada.

This 99.95% pure platinum coin is a Canadian homage to the long-ruling monarch whose reign and legacy of service influenced many chapters of Canada’s story.

During her seven-decade reign and 22 Royal Tours as Canada’s Head of State, Queen Elizabeth II saw much of Canada, from east to west and into the north, and joined Canadians in celebrating our biggest milestones and achievements. In her speeches, she often expressed a deep love and respect for this country and its people, even commenting during her last tour that “my pride in this country remains undimmed.” Canadians returned that affection throughout her lifetime, and through this platinum piece, we honour her life and steadfast commitment to this country.

The only platinum piece in the Queen Elizabeth II’s Reign collection.

Design

The reverse features the Royal Cypher of Queen Elizabeth II, which combines Queen Elizabeth II’s initials “E II” (Elizabeth II) with her title initial “R” (for Regina, or “Queen” in Latin) and an image of St. Edward’s Crown. The cypher is bordered by acanthus leaves, a maple leaf and a Tudor rose. Double dated to commemorate her historic reign, the tribute obverse is also marked by a Tudor rose and features the four effigies of Queen Elizabeth II that have graced Canadian coins (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.
