Mark the Platinum Jubilee with Swarovski ¨ crystals and a jewellery-themed tribute.
We reserved Her Majesty's most famous royal headpiece for the Platinum Jubilee! The Diamond Diadem is spectacular yet familiar-it's the royal headpiece that has appeared in countless portraits since Her Majesty acceded to the throne in 1952.
It is one of the most recognizable symbols of Her Majesty's 70-year reign, and for this reason, it is the inspiration for this year's 99.99% pure silver tribute to the Queen of Canada in her Platinum Jubilee year.
The coin's reverse features a rhodium-plated embellishment that resembles the diadem's cross and floral sprays. Adorned with Swarovski ¨ crystals, the arrangement sparkles brilliantly against the matte proof finish, which ensures all eyes are on this jewellery-themed design.
Celebrate Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee with this diadem tribute.
Matte proof finish. A satin field ensures all eyes are on the diadem-inspired design.
A hit with collectors. Previous tiara-themed coins sold out quickly, and given the famous headpiece represented on this one, it will likely be a sought-after piece too! Mintage is limited to 4,500!
Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
Packaging
Your coin is individually encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
The diamond diadem
The regal Diamond Diadem is also known as the George IV State Diadem because it was originally created for the coronation of King George IV in 1821. It has since been exclusively worn by queens regnant and consort, beginning with Queen Adelaide and continuing with Queen Victoria, who designated it an Heirloom of the Crown in 1901. Its silver frame is lined with gold and set with 1,333 brilliant-cut diamonds, including a four-carat yellow brilliant at the centre of the front cross. Its narrow band is edged with pearls and surmounted by four crosses patt e and four sprays featuring a rose for England, shamrocks for Ireland and a thistle for Scotland.
