The guardians of the Crown
Canada 2026, 1 ounce silver, picture side
A necklace with red stones, with Elizabeth II on the value side.
1536 and 1953 · The guardians
From Hampton Court to Westminster
On the bridge that Henry VIII had completed over the moat at Hampton Court in 1536 stood ten heraldic beasts, the King’s Beasts. Following their example, James Woodford created ten beasts in plaster for the coronation on 2 June 1953.
At Kew, copies in Portland stone stand guard outside the Palm House; the plaster figures have belonged to Canada since 1959.
Arms and crown
Lion and unicorn hold the arms
On the Royal Arms gold of 2022, the lion and the unicorn hold the royal arms, with the motto “DIEU ET MON DROIT” beneath. For the Platinum Jubilee in 2022, the Sovereign too carried the royal arms instead of St George.
The Heraldic Beasts are issues of Niue: the lion in 2025 in silver and gold, the unicorn in 2026 in silver, with the portrait of Charles III on the value side.
The Lion and the Eagle unites the British lion and the American eagle, designed by Jonathan Olliffe.
The crown as a motif
Crowns in silver and gold
St Edward’s Crown and the Imperial State Crown appear in 2026 as coloured reliefs on two ounces of silver from Niue, with the legend “ROYAL CROWN JEWELS”.
For the coronation the Royal Mint struck the King’s monogram beneath the crown, among others on one ounce and on a tenth of an ounce of gold.

The Sovereign
A gold coin travels the world
Henry VII gave the name Sovereign to a new gold coin in 1489. In the 19th century the Sovereign was called the “chief coin of the world”, accepted even in Brazil.
The Royal Mint also struck it at branch mints, from Sydney from 1855 to Pretoria from 1923, almost 500 million pieces in all. Today the Australian Sovereign of the Perth Mint shows a new St George, drawn by Jennifer McKenna.
The faces of the Crown
One face, seven decades
Mary Gillick showed Elizabeth II with a laurel wreath instead of a crown, and Jody Clark chose the diadem of her coronation in 2015: the first and the fifth of her portraits on British coins.
On British coins the portrait of Charles III is by Martin Jennings; the King approved it himself. The Queen’s British coins remained valid: some 27 billion were in circulation when the first circulating coins with Charles were struck.

With the release "Crown Jewels – 100 Years of Queen Elizabeth II", the Royal Canadian Mint creates a sparkling monument in 2026 to one of the most significant monarchs of modern times. This 1 oz coin struck in the purest silver combines royal elegance with artisanal perfection and is a true jewel among the silver coins of this year of issue.
Royal Design – The Splendour of the British Crown Jewels
One glance at the reverse is enough to understand: this was not simply minted, it was composed. The design features an artistic arrangement of royal jewellery – inspired by diadems, earrings and brooches from Her Majesty's collection. Deeply luminous ruby-red colour accents create sparkling highlights on a finely chased ornamentation reminiscent of Victorian goldsmithing. Playful scrollwork, small maple leaves and Tudor roses subtly reference the close bond between Canada and the British Crown.
The reverse is executed in the finest Reverse Proof technique: the backgrounds shimmer with a matte finish, while the raised elements have been mirror-polished. This combination gives the coin an extraordinary sense of depth – almost as if one were holding a piece of the Crown Jewels themselves.
The Obverse – The Familiar Portrait of the Queen
The obverse bears the classic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Susanna Blunt, framed by the inscription "ELIZABETH II · CANADA 2026 · D · G · REGINA" and the face value of 20 dollars. A dignified likeness that honours the monarch's 100th birthday – a woman who shaped a century like virtually no other.
"True endurance is recognised not by the noise it makes, but by the lustre that remains." – A thought that applies equally to the Queen and to the precious metal silver itself.
Why This Coin Should Be in Every Collection
This release combines several highly sought-after qualities: limited mintage, the highest mint quality, historical significance and an extraordinary design concept. In direct comparison to classic bullion coins such as the Maple Leaf Bullion, the Crown Jewels edition stands out above all for its collector's value and its emotionally resonant design. While bullion coins primarily follow the material value, special editions like this one tell a story – and that is what makes collectors' hearts beat faster around the world.
Advantages at a Glance
- Exclusive collector's design with selectively gold-plated and coloured elements
- Premium Proof quality with Reverse Proof finishing
- Official legal tender of Canada – guaranteed by the Royal Canadian Mint
- Excellently suited as an inflation hedge and as a value-stable portfolio addition
- Popular with collectors of royal themes and Canadian special editions
Silver – The Precious Metal with History and a Future
Silver has accompanied humanity for thousands of years as a medium of exchange, jewellery metal and store of value. Yet today it is far more than just a nostalgic relic: industrial demand – in solar technology, electronics and medical technology, for example – is growing continuously. At the same time, the physical supply remains limited. This combination makes silver a compelling building block for investors who think long-term and wish to rely on solid crisis protection.
Those who invest in special coins such as this Crown Jewels edition unite two worlds: the intrinsic value of the precious metal and the emotional appeal of a numismatic work of art. An object that one not only stores, but admires – and perhaps one day passes on to the next generation, together with the story of an extraordinary queen.
