• A CANADIAN CONNECTION: The reverse is the second design inspired by the iconic portraits of world-renowned Armenian-Canadian photographer Yousuf Karsh, a 20th- century master of portraiture who was also known as 'Karsh of Ottawa.'
• LARGEST PORTRAIT YET: The size of this 10 oz. coin (76.25 mm) makes this the largest portrait of Her Majesty ever featured on a coin struck by the Royal Canadian Mint.
• EXQUISITE AND HIGHLY DETAILED: The large field allows for an impressive amount of engraved details that do justice to the original portrait.

• 65th Anniversary of the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II: This year marks the 65th anniversary of the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II - the longest reigning monarch in British history.
