On the occasion of the first anniversary of the coronation, the historical event is commemorated on this colourful Special Edition Proof Dollar, which features the official portrait of His Majesty King Charles III in full regalia on Coronation Day.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Sovereign’s Sceptre with Cross serves as a symbol of good governance and is one of two sceptres used during the coronation service (the other is the Sovereign’s Sceptre with Dove). Also featured on this coin’s reverse, the Sovereign’s Orb is a representation of the Christian world, and like the Sovereign’s Sceptre with Cross, it was created for the coronation of King Charles II in 1661.

Your coin’s reverse features His Majesty King Charles III’s official coronation portrait taken by British photographer Hugo Burnand at Buckingham Palace following the Coronation ceremony on May 6, 2023. Surrounded by engraved maple leaves, the colour portrait shows His Majesty seated on a throne chair in full regalia; His Majesty is wearing The Imperial State Crown and The Robe of Estate, and holds the Sovereign’s Scepter with Cross and the Sovereign’s Orb. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.

The idea was to achieve a stately composition by surrounding the portrait with maple leaves interpreted in a classic style. These are the leaves that symbolize Canada, of course, but they also serve as a unique framing device, adding a nicely defined shape and artistic flair without drawing attention away from the royal portrait.
