Queen Elizabeth II was born a princess, but wasn’t destined to reign until fate intervened. Suddenly the heiress presumptive at the age of 10, a young Princess Elizabeth accepted her destiny with grace, putting a lifelong sense of duty and a deep love of her country and the Commonwealth above all else.

This fine silver set is a three-part, photo-inspired celebration of an extraordinary life and reign. Packaged in an informative presentation folder, each coin commemorates a different chapter in the life story of Queen Elizabeth II, from princess to long-reigning queen. And together as one set, these coins will forever preserve the legacy of the beloved Queen of Canada.

Queen Elizabeth II was named after her mother, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, while her two middle names honour her great-grandmother, Queen Alexandra, and her grandmother, Queen Mary.

Queen Elizabeth II was the first monarch to be proclaimed Sovereign of Canada upon her accession to the throne.
