Set of 2 x 1 oz 2026 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Queen Elizabeth II Proof Silver Coins | Royal Canadian Mint

Honouring a life and legacy that spanned nations and generations.

In honour of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Queen Elizabeth II, the Royal Canadian Mint and The Royal Mint proudly present this two-coin set that reflects the late sovereign’s legacy across two nations bound by history. Issued in collaboration, these commemorative coins offer a shared tribute to a monarch whose long reign shaped the modern identity of both countries; as Queen of the United Kingdom and of Canada, and as Head of the Commonwealth, Queen Elizabeth II served as a symbol of unity and devotion—a steady figure across generations and oceans, and a global figure of continuity and grace.

Two realms, two coins—one shared sovereign.

DID YOU KNOW?

Depicted on the $20 coin, Burmese was the first of eight horses presented to Queen Elizabeth II as a gift from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The former Musical Ride horse quickly became one of Queen Elizabeth II’s favourite horses, and carried her in the annual Trooping the Colour from 1969 until 1986, which marked Burmese’s last public appearance. The beloved black mare died in 1990.
