Description
This unique 2023 $50 fine silver coin from the Royal Canadian Mint combines innovation with the beauty of a real Canadian mined oval shaped diamond. A diamond’s cut shapes create a sparkle that makes it an everlasting symbol of love burning bright. Nowhere is this more evident than with this extraordinary coin, which is both shaped like a diamond and includes a real inset .23 carat Forevermark Black Label oval shaped diamond. The diamond is one of the last to be extracted from the Victor Mine in Northern Ontario. The coin has a weight of three ounces of fine silver. Adding to its collectability, the mintage is extremely limited to just 850 pieces.
The Design:
An oval-cut diamond is the sophisticated choice for those seeking the fire and brilliance of a round cut diamond, but in a more distinct shape. Its eye-catching elongated shape, along with its complex faceting structure, inspired this year’s diamond-shaped coin. This spectacular collectible is shaped to match the patented cut of the 0.23 carat Forevermark Black Label oval diamond embedded on one of its facets, where the precision-cut gemstone radiates beauty and elegance.
The top of the diamond features the transitional posthumous effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, including the double dates of her reign 1952-2022.
Did You Know?
Diamond is the hardest known material. That’s why 80% of all diamonds are used in research and industrial applications, from tools to electronic devices. The other 20% are used to create unforgettable jewellery designs and luxury pieces, like this coin. The embedded diamond is part of the Forevermark Black Label Collection from The De Beers Group of Companies. Less than 1% of the world’s gem-quality diamonds are eligible for this distinction, and each Forevermark diamond bears a laser-inscribed symbol that is an assurance of purity, beauty and responsible sourcing.
