The Crowns – Pure Gold Coin (246820)

Occupying the place of honour atop the Canada Coat of Arms, the Royal Crown is the heraldic emblem that represents the Crown in Canada, the state’s power and the Sovereign’s authority. In April 2023, a new Canadian Royal Crown created by the Canadian Heraldic Authority was approved by His Majesty King Charles III for use as a perennial emblem that speaks to this country’s history and identity through its distinctly Canadian elements—from the maple leaves that line the Crown’s rim, to the snowflake that resembles the insignia of one of our highest honours.

Making its first appearance on a coin, the Canadian Royal Crown graces the reverse of this 99.99% pure gold piece, where it appears alongside a stylized St. Edward’s Crown, the historic headpiece worn by His Majesty at the moment of coronation on May 6, 2023.
