Description
A gift from the people of Canada, the exquisite Sapphire Jubilee Snowflake Brooch was presented to Queen Elizabeth II in 2017 to mark the 150th anniversary of Canadian confederation and the 65th anniversary of her reign, her Sapphire Jubilee as Queen of Canada.
A one-of-a-kind brooch inspired by a snowflake as a representation of the Canadian Arctic is the first bejewelled piece to be showcased in the exciting new Crown Jewels series. Its likeness is captured on the reverse of this 99.99% pure silver coin, where the rhodium-plated embellishment’s cast elements and royal blue glass stones highlight the beauty and intricacy of the diamond-and-sapphire brooch's design.
The Design:
The coin’s reverse features an interpretation of the Sapphire Jubilee Snowflake Brooch—a gift from the people of Canada to Queen Elizabeth II in 2017 to mark the 65th anniversary of her reign. Shaped like a snowflake, the rhodium-plated embellishment is adorned with royal blue glass stones and marked by cast elements that stand in for the royal brooch’s diamonds and sapphires. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
