2026 Canada 4-Coin Commemorate the 100th Birthday of Queen Elizabeth II Pure Gold Fractional Set

Celebrating Queen Elizabeth II’s centennial with a gold and diamond pairing.

Released in advance to help mark the occasion with distinction, this pure gold fractional set is a centennial tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, whose historic reign significantly shaped this country’s history and identity. All four coins are double-dated to commemorate what would have been her 100th birthday (“1926-2026”) and feature a maple leaf alongside the late monarch’s Royal Cypher. The 1 oz. coin features two additional elements: an incuse maple leaf, and a radiant diamond—Queen Elizabeth II’s birthstone—symbolizing both her legacy of steadfast commitment to her duties and her profound impact on the world.

Featuring the four effigies that span a seven-decade reign.

Features:

• A royal 100ᵗʰ birthday tribute. This pure gold fractional set pays tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning monarch in modern Canadian history, on what would have been her 100ᵗʰ birthday.
• A unique opportunity. Queen Elizabeth II, her reign, and her coin effigies were a constant presence in the lives of Canadians. This is a unique opportunity to see the four effigies together again—a look back at a reign’s numismatic legacy.
• A collector exclusive. Only 450 sets are available to collectors worldwide.
• Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.

Design:

All four coins share the same reverse design by artist Claudio D’Angelo, with a Canadian maple leaf accompanied by the Royal Cypher of Queen Elizabeth II to mark what would have been her 100ᵗʰ birthday, as indicated by the double dates “1926-2026”. On the 1-oz. coin, the maple leaf is struck incuse and paired with a diamond representing both Queen Elizabeth II’s birthstone and legacy. Each obverse features one of the four effigies of Queen Elizabeth II that appeared on Canadian coins during her historic reign: the laureate effigy by Mary Gillick, the tiara effigy by Arnold Machin, the diademed effigy by Dora de Pédery-Hunt, and the uncrowned effigy by Susanna Blunt.

Diamond sparkle
Each coin in this four-piece set is crafted in 99.99% pure gold with a reverse proof finish, but the 1 oz. coin has an extra-special feature: a sparkling diamond (Queen Elizabeth II’s birthstone) that honours her life and lasting legacy.

A reign represented in portraits
Each coin’s obverse features one of the four effigies of Queen Elizabeth II that graced Canadians coins during her decades-long reign.

Incuse strike
In addition to its diamond, the 1 oz. coin is set apart by its recessed maple leaf, which is only struck incuse on the largest piece in this set.

Double-dated
Each reverse features the double dates “1926-2026” to mark the centenary of Queen Elizabeth II’s birth.
