Product Overview
April 21, 2006 marks the 80th birthday of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada and 15 other Commonwealth realms. This $300 gold coin pays tribute to the Queen and celebrates her milestone birthday.
This magnificent 14-karat gold coin celebrates the Queen's 80th birthday with a stunning design of the imperial state crown, the most valuable piece of the crown jewels that features some of Britain's most historic stones—the second Star of Africa, the Black Prince's Ruby and the Sapphire of King Edward the Confessor—all of which are highlighted with captivating enamal effect.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary was born on April 21, 1926, in London, England to the second son of George V. Albert, Duke of York, and the Duchess of York, the former Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. Her sister Princess Margaret was born four years later. In 1936, when she was 10, her uncle, King Edward VIII, abdicated the throne to marry a divorced American named Wallis Warfield Simpson. His brother Albert was next in line to the throne, and he became George VI in honour of his father. She therefore became the Heiress Presumptive, meaning that she would become Queen if her parents did not have a son.
At the age of 13, she met her distant cousin, 18-year-old Prince Philip. They fell in love and got married eight years later, on November 20, 1947. One year later they had a son, Charles Philip Arthur George. In 1950, they had Anne Elizabeth Alice; in 1960, Prince Andrew; and in 1964, Prince Edward.
While in Kenya in 1952, they found out that her father had died, and on June 2, 1952, Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne of England and the seven Commonwealth realms that recognized her as their head of state at that time, including Canada. As millions around the world watched her coronation in Westminster Abbey—the first televised British coronation—they could not know that they were witnessing the inauguration of a reign that would last well into the next millennium.
