2023 $250 PURE GOLD COIN
ST. EDWARD'S CROWN

8th coin of the series Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's tiaras.

It is the revered symbol of royal authority, history and tradition. The centuriesold 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. The centrepiece of the British Crown Jewels and royal regalia, the all-gold coronation crown is easily recognized by the crosses pattée that inspired this 99.99% pure gold coin’s reverse, where the engraved cross is similarly adorned with an array of gemstones.

 Inspired by the rarely seen coronation crown. The historic headpiece used to crown Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 and His Majesty King Charles III in 2023 inspired this coin’s reverse, which is studded with nine white sapphires, two emeralds, a ruby and an aquamarine.
 This is the first time the Royal Canadian Mint has featured a wide array of gemstones on one coin.
 Each stone was painstakingly embedded by hand using fine tweezers for precise placement.
 Only 225 coins available to collectors worldwide.
 Packaged in a premium wooden case with an additional certificate of authenticity for the gemstones.
