2022 $20 FINE SILVER COIN
QUEEN ELIZABETH II'S ROYAL CYPHER

For 70 years, it was one of the most recognizable symbols of both Canada’s monarch and this nation’s sovereignty. Imprinted in the insignia of Canadian orders, decorations, medals and badges throughout her reign, the Royal Cypher of Queen Elizabeth II has been preserved for posterity on this 1 oz. black rhodium-plated 99.99% pure silver coin, where it pays homage to Queen Elizabeth II, the keeper of continuity who also advanced the monarchy into the modern age.

Black rhodium. Each coin is plated with black rhodium to symbolize mourning. The only glimpse of silver is on the obverse, where the contrast between the silver effigies and the black rhodium plating keeps the focus on Queen Elizabeth II, as we remember her life and reign.
 Homage to the Crown. On the coin’s reverse, the royal cypher is framed by shapes resembling the beads and clusters of stones that adorn St Edward’s Crown; it is the crown used at the moment of coronation, and the one depicted in Queen Elizabeth II’s cypher.
 Tribute obverse. Marked by a small Tudor rose, the tribute obverse combines the four different effigies that have graced Canadian coins since Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953. This obverse is only featured on the numismatic coins in the Queen Elizabeth II’s Reign collection.
 A nation remembers. Every numismatic coin in the Queen Elizabeth II’s Reign collection comes packaged with a special beauty box.
