2021 Canada $20 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's Lover's Knot Tiara Fine Silver Coin
This 2021 Canada $20 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's Lover's Knot Tiara Fine Silver Coin features one of the most famous royal pearl heirlooms. Its diamond-adorned arches and suspended pearls inspired the rhodium-plated designs for the 2021 tiara coin, which double as a jewellery-themed celebration of the year of Her Majesty’s 95th birthday.
Commissioned by Queen Mary in 1913 from the House of Garrard, the Lover's Knot Tiara (also known as Queen Mary's Lover's Knot Tiara) was passed down to her granddaughter, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Originally the Lover's Knot Tiara contained upright pearls above 19 diamond arches; pearls of which were taken from the Girls of Great Britain & Ireland Tiara (also a favourite of Her Majesty). However, Queen Mary later had these pearls removed from the Lover's Knot Tiara. This regal tiara was loaned other members of the Royal Family such as Diana, Princess of Wales, and Catherine, HRH The Duchess of Cambridge.
The reverse of 2021 coin features an interpretation of the current Lover's Knot Tiara. Swarovski® crystals add a diamond-like sparkle to the rhodium-plated motif, while three mother-of-pearl pieces stand in for the tiara’s suspended pearls. The arrangement is framed by engraved elements resembling the tiara’s headband. The commemorative obverse features scroll flourishes and the four effigies of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II that have appeared on Canadian coins since 1953.
