2023 Canada Silver $20 St. Edward's Crown

It is the revered symbol of royal authority, history and tradition. The centuries-old St. Edward’s Crown is only worn once in a monarch’s reign and only at the very moment of crowning—the moment when the historic headpiece is reverently placed upon the new sovereign’s head, marking the culmination of accession. Its crosses pattée inspired this fine Silver coin’s reverse, where the embellishment that resembles the cross is regally plated with Gold and adorned with colored glass stones.

Coin Highlights:

• Contains 1 oz of .9999 fine Silver, Rhodium-plated and adorned with Swarovski® crystals.
• Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
• Limited mintage of 6,000 coins.
• Obverse: The coin’s obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.
• Reverse: Your coin’s reverse features an artistic representation of the front cross pattée from the centuries-old St. Edward’s Crown, the coronation crown and the centerpiece of the British Crown Jewels. Bordered by a row of beads inspired by the crown, the Gold-plated embellishment is studded with colored glass stones that stand in for some of the coronation crown’s many gemstones.

St. Edward's Crown
The most hallowed of all the British Crown Jewels and royal regalia, the St. Edward’s Crown is only used on the monarch’s coronation day. It was commissioned for the coronation of King Charles II in 1661 as a replacement for the original crown, which dated back to King Edward the Confessor (hence the name) but was melted down by parliamentarians in 1649. The “new” St. Edward’s Crown is composed of a solid Gold frame set with 444 precious and semi-precious stones, including amethysts, aquamarines, garnet, peridot, rubies, topazes, tourmalines and sapphires. Similar to the medieval crown that inspired its design, the St. Edward’s Crown is distinguished by four crosses pattée (like the one featured on your coin), four fleurs-de-lis and Gold bead-adorned arches that surround the ermine-trimmed velvet cap.
