Product Overview
This $50 coin marks the Royal Canadian Mint's first-ever gold ultra-high relief coin, and the world's first such coin using 99.999% pure gold. It is a double-effigy coin, featuring a traditional profile effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to celebrate her diamond jubilee in 2012 on the reverse, and an uncrowned portrait on the obverse. This gold coin is officially approved by Buckingham Palace.
The year 2012 marked the diamond jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II—a celebration around the world of the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty's succession to the throne. On June 2, 1952, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the thrones of England and the seven Commonwealth realms that recognized her as their head of state at that time, including Canada. As millions around the world watched her coronation in Westminster Abbey—the first televised British coronation—they could not know that they were witnessing the inauguration of a reign that would last well into the next millennium. Among British monarchs, Queen Elizabeth II is one of only two rulers in the history of Britain, Canada and a number of other Commonwealth countries to have reached their 60th ruling year. Only Queen Victoria, in 1897, celebrated a diamond jubilee prior to Queen Elizabeth II.
