This 99.99% pure silver dollar marks the 100th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s birth by presenting a uniquely Canadian tribute: a representation of the Diamond Maple Leaf Brooch worn by Queen Elizabeth II as a symbol of her personal connection to Canada, accompanied by the Royal Cypher (top) that served as her personal device. A flourish of filigree crowns the noble leaf, symbolizing grace and heritage, and includes 13 maple leaves (one for each province and territory) that lie nestled in the filigree’s negative space—a subtle-but-profound tribute threaded through the artistry, much like Queen Elizabeth II’s steadfast presence in Canada’s story.

A maple leaf tribute rooted in remembrance.

Originally a gift for Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother) from King George VI ahead of their royal tour of Canada in 1939, the Diamond Maple Leaf Brooch was worn by Queen Elizabeth II during her own visits to Canada, including in 2010 when she attended the Canada Day celebrations in Ottawa.

Designed by Canadian artist Simon Ng, the reverse features an engraved representation of the Diamond Maple Leaf Brooch surrounded by decorative filigree. In the centre portion of the design, the artist’s take on the royal brooch is positioned between the words “CANADA” and “DOLLAR” and the double dates “1926-2026” commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Queen Elizabeth II, whose Royal Cypher appears at the top. The negative space within the filigree forms the shape of a maple leaf, with 13 leaves representing each of Canada’s provinces and territories. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
