- Comes in a wooden box with a graphic beauty box surrounding it.

- Obverse: Displays the ikeness of Queen Elizabeth II with a stylized design.
- Reverse: The image was inspired by design elements from the Vladimir Tiara that was fashioned from the famous Cambridge Emeralds. Royal Canadian Mint engravers worked with jewelers to incorporate precious stones into the minting process. The result is a rare, and meticulously crafted gemstone coin that echoes the tiara’s diamond circles and emerald centers.
- A rare, gem-encrusted coin that represents the complex blending of two meticulous disciplines, minting and jewelry-making.
This precious item includes a certificate from Sitara authenticating the quality of the diamonds and emerald. The tiara’s iconic circular design is further expressed in the delicately engraved motif that forms the coin’s outer ring, a total of 90 circles to honor The Queen on her 90th anniversary. A historic celebration that is also highlighted in the coin’s unique double date (1926-2016).
