As Canada’s monarch and head of state for 70 years, Queen Elizabeth II played an integral role in the life of our nation. Over the course of her reign, she made 22 official visits to Canada—more than any other Commonwealth nation—and joined in some of our greatest milestones.
This year, we revisit seven decades of history through a collection of commemorative coins, designed to honour the extraordinary life and reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
For 70 years, Queen Elizabeth II dutifully and gracefully served as Canada’s head of state. And, until her passing on September 8, 2022, she was the only sovereign many Canadians had ever known.
