Series: Diamond-Shaped

Obverse

Your coin’s unique shape and multi-faceted design are a reproduction of a patented trademark diamond cut from Crossworks Manufacturing, as seen on De Beers Ideal Cut Diamonds. Embedded on one of the crown main facets, is a 0.23 carat De Beers Ideal Cushion Cut Diamond. This coin has the added distinction of featuring a piece of Canada’s mining history: its diamond having been sourced from one of Canada’s finest diamond mines. The year “2024” is engraved on another crown main facet, while the word “CANADA”, the denomination of “500 DOLLARS” and the head of Queen Elizabeth II, as at 77 years of age, bare headed, wearing necklace and earrings, facing right appear on the largest facet (the table). Effigy is accompanied by special marking consisting of double dates "1952" and "2022," separated by four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins during the reign of Elizabeth II.
