• INSPIRED BY A DIAMOND CROWN!A popular annual offering, the 2022edition of our pure silver fractional set honours a crown that is popularly associated with Her Majesty’s long reign: the magnificent Diamond Diadem.
• A CANADIAN CELEBRATION! All five coins (1 oz., 1/2 oz., 1/4 oz., 1/10 oz., 1/20 oz.) in this maple-themed set feature the effigy of Her Majesty by Canadian Dora de Pédery-Hunt – this is the obverse design that appeared on Canada’s coins from 1990 to 2002.
• DIAMOND DUST! Crafted in 99.99% pure silver, these five coins share the same engraved maple-themed design, but the 1 oz. coin is selectively enhanced with diamond glitter technology –a precise application of fine diamond particles first seen on our 2017 Glistening North coins. This time, the glittering effect is a nod to the Diamond Diadem worn by Her Majesty, Queen of Canada, on the coin’s obverse.
• REVERSE PROOF FINISH! All five coins feature a reverse proof finish — brilliant relief on frosted/matte field — that allows the engraved art to shine.
• INCLUDES SERIALIZED CERTIFICATE! The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
• NO GST/HST

Design:
Your five coins share the same reverse design by artist Nathalie Lagacé and feature two sugar maple (Acer saccharum) leaves opposite each other, along with three pairs of samaras (winged seeds). A proud symbol of Canada, the most prominent leaf is enhanced with diamond glitter on the 1 oz. coin in honour of the Diamond Diadem represented on the obverse. Each reverse also includes “CANADA” and the coin’s purity andweight, along with the date “2022”. Each obverse features the historic effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Dora de Pédery-Hunt.

• Sculptor and medalist Dora de Pédery-Hunt, C.M., O.Ont, was the first Canadian to design a royal effigy for Canadian coinage. This is the effigy featured in this fractional set and on most Canadian coins issued between 1990 and 2002.
• Look closely at the effigy: Her Majesty is shown wearing the Diamond Diadem, also known as the George IV State Diadem. Though it was originally created for King George IV’s coronation in 1821, the diamond-and-pearl headpiece has been passed down through generations and worn by queens and queen consorts. Her Majesty famously donned the diadem for the coronation procession in 1953, and she continues to wear it to the annual State Opening of Parliament ceremony at the Palace of Westminster in London (United Kingdom).
