Imperial State Crown - 1 Oz - Silver Collector Coin

The design depicts the royal cypher of Queen Elizabeth II surrounded by an artistic representation of the imperial crown of state as seen from above. The arrangement of 16 blue and green glass stones represents the array of gemstones that adorn the crown, while the four sparkling white crystals - one for each of the likenesses that have adorned Canadian coins since 1953 - relate to four different likenesses of Her Majesty that have appeared on Canadian coins.
