Canada's newest colourful coin celebrates the coronation anniversary of King Charles III

The Royal Canadian Mint has just unveiled a new collector-edition silver coin honouring His Majesty King Charles III and celebrating his coronation anniversary.

Monday marked the first year since the King's coronation on March 6, 2023. That day, British photographer Hugo Burnand took a portrait of the King.

A reproduction of that portrait graces the back of the 99.99 per cent silver dollar in full colour.

"This regal portrait is framed by maple leaves engraved over a mirror-like background. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty, designed by Canadian artist Steven Rosati," a release from the Mint reads.
