3/4 oz 2026 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Queen Elizabeth II Proof Silver Coin | Royal Canadian Mint

Own this jewellery-inspired tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.

This 99.99% pure silver 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.

A maple leaf tribute rooted in remembrance.

A JEWELLERY INSPIRED CELEBRATION

On your coin’s reverse, the central maple leaf is inspired by a royal jewellery piece frequently worn by Queen Elizabeth II during her reign: the Diamond Maple Leaf Brooch.

LE SYMBOLE D'UN RÈGNE

Also on your coin’s reverse: the Royal Cypher of Queen Elizabeth II, one of the most recognizable symbols of a seven-decade reign.

A HISTORIC OBVERSE

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.

LE SAVIEZ-VOUS ?

Originally a gift for Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother) from King George VI ahead of their royal tour of Canada in 1939, the Diamond Maple Leaf Brooch was worn by Queen Elizabeth II during her own visits to Canada, including in 2010 when she attended the Canada Day celebrations in Ottawa.

Designed by Canadian artist Simon Ng, the reverse features an engraved representation of the Diamond Maple Leaf Brooch surrounded by decorative filigree. In the centre portion of the design, the artist’s take on the royal brooch is positioned between the words “CANADA” and “DOLLAR” and the double dates “1926-2026” commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Queen Elizabeth II, whose Royal Cypher appears at the top. The negative space within the filigree forms the shape of a maple leaf, with 13 leaves representing each of Canada’s provinces and territories. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

À PROPOS DE LA MONNAIE ROYALE CANADIENNE

La Monnaie royale canadienne est connue pour être l'une des monnaies les plus réputées au monde. La succursale d'Ottawa de la Monnaie royale a ouvert ses portes en 1908 et a été rebaptisée Monnaie royale canadienne en 1931 lorsque le contrôle a été transféré au gouvernement canadien. Ses normes élevées d'excellence et de qualité lui ont permis d'être la première raffinerie à fabriquer des pièces d'investissement en or d'une pureté de 9999 en 1982, ainsi que la première à atteindre une pureté d'or de 99999 en 1998.
