2018 Canada $20 Queen Elizabeth II's Maple Leaves Brooch Fine Silver
To Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Canada is her "home away from home," that she has visited 22 times during her reign — more than any other Commonwealth nation! During her most recent visit in 2010, she displayed her affection for Canada by wearing a maple leaves brooch that was originally presented to her grandmother, Queen Mary (then Duchess) during a royal tour in 1901. It is unknown how long the brooch had been hidden away in the royal vault, but one thing is certain; it evoked a sense of home so poignant that The Queen was inspired to wear it as an outward expression of the warmth she feels for her second home — the home of the maple leaf. This beautiful coin returns that gesture with an exquisite reproduction of the brooch she wore.
