2015 “Longest Reign” Commemorative Issue 
Front Design: This commemorative note features a large window containing new visual elements. The metallic portrait in the large window is based on a photograph of The Queen taken in July 1951 by renowned Canadian photographer Yousuf Karsh. The metallic symbols include The Queen’s monogram, (“E II” refers to Elizabeth II, and “R” is for Regina, meaning “queen” in Latin). The garland of maple leaves was inspired by the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Emblem for Canada. The maple leaves in the emblem rising up in a wreath formation represent Canada’s provinces and territories. Text that reads “A Historic Reign/Un Règne Historique” is repeated across the top, center, and bottom of the large window. 
Back Design: Features the following elements: two pylons of the Vimy Memorial, representing the sacrifices of people from Canada and France. The poppies symbolize remembrance and honouring Canada’s military men and women. The Canadian flag indicates that, although the Vimy Memorial is not in Canada, it is actually on Canadian soil, granted by the Government of France to the people of Canada, for all time.
