Dynastic change: A gold tribute to the dawn of the Edwardian era.
The coronation of King Edward VII in 1902 brought more than a new effigy to Canadian coinage: it signalled a generational shift. Replacing Queen Victoria’s long-familiar likeness, King Edward VII’s image embodied the promise of a new century—one shaped by the modernization and growth of the Edwardian era, which would lay the groundwork for Canada’s eventual coming of age.
The 2027 Pure Gold Fractional Set draws inspiration from Canada’s 1902 25- and 50-cent coins, which retained the maple wreath while introducing King Edward VII’s effigy and a new Imperial crown design. These historic elements are plated with platinum on the 1 oz. coin in this set, creating a stunning contrast and elevating a design that marked the dawn of the Edwardian era, dubbed the Gilded Age.
Marking the passage from the Victorian to Edwardian era.
