Detailed description
Celebrating Canada's Diversity: Culture and Traditions
Issued by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2022 in Proof quality and made of the purest 99.99% gold and weighing 31.16 grams, this exclusive natural sapphire gold coin is an artistic expression of the culture and traditions associated with French Canadians.
Through floral ornaments, maple leaves and heraldic lilies, the "Fleur de lis" composes a vibrant and diverse mosaic expressing Canada's French heritage.
The 0.75 carat natural sapphire exhibits AAA clarity and its convex crown has a rose cut. The fine facets thus better reflect blue light and add sparkle to the stone.
The reverse of the coin was designed by Canadian artist Hélène Girard. The blue sapphire in the centre of the coin flamboyantly represents the francophone spirit as the cornerstone of the Canadian nation. The gem is surrounded by heraldic lilies, which are inherent in the emblem of French monarchs and kingdoms. As a new nation emerging from its French roots, the maple leaves grow from the lily symbols, along with the flowers of the American violet (flower of the province of New Brunswick) and the spotted iris (flower of the province of Quebec). The stunning mosaic is completed by an arrow design on the circle, based on the woven sash "ceintures fléchée", part of the traditional costume of the inhabitants of the historic territory of Lower Canada since 1776. The Proof design enhances the bluish glow of the sapphire and brings out the fine details of the coinage. The entire motif is complemented by the artist's subtle initials "HG".
The obverse bears the traditional portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt with the inscriptions "ELIZABETH II", "CANADA 2022", "D.G.REGINA" and the denomination "200 DOLLARS".
The coin comes in a gift box along with a numbered certificate of authenticity for the coin, a separate certificate verifies the authenticity of the sapphire. The mintage is limited to just 275 pieces for the entire world!
