2023 $20 ST. EDWARD'S CROWN FINE SILVER COIN

It is the revered symbol of royal authority, history and tradition. The centuries-old 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. Its crosses pattée inspired this fine silver coin’s reverse, where the embellishment that resembles the cross is regally plated with gold and adorned with coloured glass stones.

A stone-adorned nod to the coronation crown.

Special features

• The coronation crown. The centrepiece of the British Crown Jewels, the centuries-old St. Edward’s Crown used to crown Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, and now His Majesty King Charles III in 2023 inspired this extraordinary fine silver collectible.
• Matte proof finish. A satin field ensures all eyes are on the crown-inspired design.
• Popular with collectors. Previous crown- and tiara-themed coins sold out quickly. Mintage is limited to 6,000 coins worldwide.
• Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.

Packaging

Your coin is individually encapsulated and presented in a black Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell case with a black beauty box.

Coloured glass stones

This artistic interpretation of the iconic cross pattée is adorned with colourful glass stones that stand in beautifully for some of the crown’s precious and semi-precious stones.

Gold plating

Gold plating adds a regal shine to the reverse design, where the specially shaped embellishment is a representation of the crown’s distinctive cross.

Rarely seen

St. Edward’s Crown is exclusively used to crown British sovereigns and is only worn once in a reign. It is rarely removed from the Tower of London, meaning this representation of its front cross pattée may be the closest you’ll get to the real thing.
