The portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth on this coin captures The Queen Mother's timeless science of quiet dignity, and what a fitting queen she was. Queen Elizabeth gave of herself fully and openly as she assumed her royal duties, her dignified and attentive manner capturing Canada's heart when she toured the nation with King George VI in 1939.
Over a period of 66 years, The Queen Mother maintained her official duties. Despite her advancing years and periods of ill health, she carried on with remarkable dedication, wit and an astute awareness of changing world around her. When The Queen Mother passed away on March 30, 2002, expressions of affection and respect were heard around the globe - testimony to the fact that in today's fast-paced world, the timeless traditions of grace and quiet dignity are still held very dear.
Available only in proof condition, this silver dollar honours the life of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother
