Canada: 2017 $20 The Great Seal of Canada Silver Coin

Finish: Proof

Mintage: 6000

Design: Your coin's design represents the current Great Seal of Canada, which was struck by the Royal Canadian Mint in 1952. While the coin's 36 mm diameter provides a smaller canvas for this representation, nearly every element of Eric Aldwinckle's design is in place. Engraved in ultra-high relief, the robed figure of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is enthroned on the Coronation Chair in Westminster Abbey, and holds the orb and sceptre in her hands. Framed by a band bearing the bilingual inscription "REINE DU CANADA – ELIZABETH II – QUEEN OF CANADA", the embossed image basks in the golden hue of selective gold plating, which also adds an elegant touch to the rim on both the obverse and reverse. The obverse features the gold-plated effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, along with the engraved word "CANADA", the face value "25 DOLLARS" and the year "2017".

Packaging: The coin is encapsulated and presented in a maroon Royal Canadian Mint clamshell case, it is protected by a black beauty box.
