A Jewel in Numismatic History: The $20 Diamond Diadem Coin
The 2022 $20 Diamond Diadem Fine Silver Coin celebrates one of the most iconic symbols of Queen Elizabeth II—her Diamond Diadem. Originally crafted for King George IV’s coronation in 1821, the diadem etched its way into history through its intricate design and regal significance.
The Queen made it her signature tiara, wearing it during her 1953 coronation procession and for countless official portraits.
The coin’s obverse features the Queen’s effigy, a staple on Canadian coins, while the reverse showcases an intricately detailed representation of the diamond crown.
Designed by Canadian artist Jori van der Linde, the reverse side is adorned with Swarovski® crystals, adding a brilliant touch of sparkle to the design. Crafted with 99.99% pure silver and limited in mintage, this coin offers numismatists a blend of history, art, and exclusivity.
Collectors adore this piece not only for its royal symbolism but also for its timeless elegance. Though unavailable at the moment, its popularity indicates it may appreciate in value over time, especially amidst a growing demand for royal-themed collectibles.
