An arrangement of 8 blue and 8 green glass stones stand in for the array of precious stones that adorn the crown, while the reverse includes four crystals—one for each of the effigies that have graced Canada’s coins since 1953. Double dated to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II’s historic reign, the tribute obverse is marked by a Tudor rose and features the four historic effigies of Queen Elizabeth II (left to right): the 2003-2022 effigy by Susanna Blunt; the 1990-2002 effigy by Dora de Pédery-Hunt; the 1965-1989 effigy by Arnold Machin; and the 1953-1964 effigy by Mary Gillick.
