Replacing Queen Victoria’s long-familiar likeness, King Edward VII’s image embodied the promise of a new century—one shaped by the modernization and growth of the Edwardian era, which would lay the groundwork for Canada’s eventual coming of age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2027 Pure Gold Fractional Set draws inspiration from Canada’s 1902 25- and 50-cent coins, which retained the maple wreath while introducing King Edward VII’s effigy and a new Imperial crown design. These historic elements are plated with platinum on the 1 oz. coin in this set, creating a stunning contrast and elevating a design that marked the dawn of the Edwardian era, dubbed the Gilded Age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarking the passage from the Victorian to Edwardian era.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKing Edward VII commissioned a new crown design for coinage marking his reign.
