2012 Fine Silver Commemorative Coin Queen Elizabeth Il fine silver 99.99% pure.

2012 Fine Silver Commemorative Coin Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth Il, sporting one of her famous hats and her renowned maple leaf diamond brooch, smiles broadly from the reverse side of this gleaming fine silver (99.99% pure) coin. The markings "Canada 1952 - 2012" commemorate Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee. The unique obverse of the coin features the effigy of Her Majesty that first appeared on Canadian coins in 1953, the year following her coronation. This effigy appeared on Canadian coins from 1953 to 1964 along with the Latin inscription "Elizabeth II Dei Gratia Regina" (Elizabeth II, Queen by the grace of God). The Story In 1951, when 25 year-old Princess Elizabeth made her first visit to Canada, she sported a sparkling diamond-encrusted maple leaf brooch. Through this simple ornament, Elizabeth made an important gesture that embodied the young royal's amity with Canadians. Since that first royal visit, Queen Elizabeth Il has visited Canada more than 22 times. Each time, her bond with Canadians deepens.
