This is the Coronation of QUEEN ELIZABETH II 65th Anniversary collectible coin. The coronation of Queen Elizabeth II as monarch of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan and Ceylon took place on June 2nd, 1953, at Westminster Abbey. Elizabeth ascended the throne at the age of 25, upon the death of her father, King George VI, on February 6th, 1952, and was proclaimed queen shortly afterwards. The coronation took place more than a year later because of the tradition that holding such a festival is inappropriate during the period of mourning that follows the death of a monarch and also on account of the need to make preparations for the ceremony. Here is your opportunity to own a colorized Royal Canadian Mint Medallion, which has been beautifully enhanced with colorized images by the Merrick Mint. Each medallion comes in a premium coin capsule with a full color Certificate of Authenticity. This medallion has been colorized with an application of special inks directly to the surface, using a unique and painstakingly multicolor process, which achieves a level of detail, color saturation, and durability that is #1 in the industry. Each medallion is about the same size as a U.S. Half Dollar coin and features a Canada Maple Leafs design on the reverse and a colorized Queen Elizabeth II image on the obverse.
