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. On this 99.99% pure gold coin, the engraved representation of the Canadian royal brooch is plated with platinum for that winter-white shine, and set with eight sparkling royal-blue sapphires. GST/HST exempt.
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. Plated with platinum, the engraved snowflake shape is adorned with eight blue sapphire gemstones (four round and four oval) that surround the centre. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
