A $200 denomination coin made of pure gold, created in the likeness of the brooch presented to Queen Elizabeth II by the people of Canada in 2017. This commemorated her 65-year reign and the 150th anniversary of Canadian confederation. Canada recognizes the British monarch as its own head of state.
The coin, made of 1 ounce of 99.99% pure gold, features the delicate shape of a snowflake. It showcases the intricate beauty of the famous brooch, dazzling with real sapphires and embodying the spirit of royal elegance and majesty. As such, it is a valued addition to any collection, commemorating a significant event in royal history. It is the first coin in the Crown Jewels precious series.
The mintage of the coin is only 250 pieces, making it a unique and rare specimen in any collection.
The reverse of the coin features a captivating version of the sapphire jubilee snowflake brooch. The pattern, plated with platinum and delicately engraved, is adorned with eight magnificent blue sapphires forming an elegant frame around the center. Each coin, crafted with precision, has four round and four oval sapphires, gently hand-set to capture the essence of the original brooch. Furthermore, the image of the sapphire brooch is enhanced with finely engraved relief, mimicking the sparkle of diamonds. The intricate details, enriched with platinum, shine with a winter white glow, adding extra elegance.
The obverse of the coin features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, skillfully captured by Canadian artist Steven Rosati. This image adds a royal character to the coin, complementing the unique beauty of the sapphire brooch on the reverse.
The British monarch is recognized by Canada and 14 other countries (including the United Kingdom) as the head of state. Other Commonwealth realms include Australia, the Bahamas, and Jamaica.
In a gesture of warm appreciation, the people of Canada presented Queen Elizabeth II with a snowflake brooch in 2017, on the occasion of her Sapphire Jubilee in Canada. This unique gift commemorated both Her Majesty's remarkable 65-year reign and the 150th anniversary of Canadian confederation.
This brooch served as the inspiration for the coin in the captivating Crown Jewels series. The one-of-a-kind design, crafted with exceptional attention to detail, references the intricate beauty of the snowflake, serving as a symbolic nod to the Canadian Arctic. Cast in pure gold, the engraved image of the royal brooch shines with a winter glow, accentuated by eight dazzling sapphires in royal blue. This inaugural coin marks the beginning of a treasured collection celebrating the splendor of the Crown Jewels—a testament to the enduring charm and prestige of royal heritage.
With Canada's growing independence from the United Kingdom, the need to mint its own coins also increased. Therefore, in 1908, the Royal Canadian Mint was established and has since become one of the most important mints in the world. To this day, all coins from the Royal Canadian Mint bear the portrait of the reigning British monarch.
The Mint's shares are held in trust for the Crown of Canada.
The Mint produces all Canadian circulation coins and is involved in designing and crafting collector coins from precious metals—gold, silver, palladium, and platinum bullion coins, medals, as well as medallions and tokens. It also offers gold and silver refining services.
Today, the Royal Canadian Mint sets standards in minting technology and numismatic design, reflecting its status and reputation.
