Bridging the past and present, this 5 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin from the Royal Canadian Mint features six well-known effigies, one for each of the reigning monarchs whose likenesses have appeared on post-Confederation Canadian coinage*. Surrounded by stately botanical emblems, these royal portraits are portals into the past (and present), and each one represents change: from the Queen Victoria diadem portrait seen on the first coins issued by the Dominion of Canada 155 years ago, to the first image of Queen Elizabeth II’s historically long reign, and the effigy introduced in 2023 – that of His Majesty King Charles III.

*No Canadian coins bearing the effigy of King Edward VIII were issued during his short reign.
