2023 Canada $20 1-oz Silver Saint Edward's Crown Matte Proof

The Centerpiece Of Great Britain's Crown Jewels AND The Coronation Of King Charles III

As the most sacred and important ornament in English history, St. Edward's Crown is the centerpiece of Great Britain's Crown Jewels. Named after Saint Edward the Confessor, it has traditionally been used to crown English and British monarchs at their coronations since the 13th century and was last used in 1953 at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Simply put, St. Edward's Crown is one of the most iconic symbols of Royalty known around the world. Not worn in 70 years, it was finally worn at the coronation of King Charles III on May 6, 2023. To commemorate this regal headpiece and its role in the British monarchy's new era, the Royal Canadian Mint has struck this gorgeous silver coin that depicts a portion of the famous crown and augmented it with gold plating and colored glass stones!

Matte Proof Reveals Coin's Subtle Design Aspects

The design on this legal-tender $20 coin shows a gilded cross that resembles the one found on King Edward's Crown. It was struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.99% silver and comes with a unique and beautiful Matte Proof finish. Matte is an intentionally non-reflective finish that is achieved by sandblasting coin dies prior to the hardening process. This imparts a very finely grained texture that scatters the reflected light, thus cutting down on the glare of conventional, brilliant proofs and allows one to examine the subtle nuances of the design more effectively.
