QUEEN ELIZABETH'S MAPLE LEAVES BROOCH WITH PEARL. To Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Canada is her "home away from home, " that she has visited 22 times during her reign - more than any other Commonwealth nation! During her most recent visit in 2010, she displayed her affection for Canada by wearing a maple leaves brooch that was originally presented to her grandmother, Queen Mary (then Duchess) during a royal tour in 1901. It is unknown how long the brooch had been hidden away in the royal vault, but one thing is certain; it evoked a sense of home so poignant that The Queen was inspired to wear it as an outward expression of the warmth she feels for her second home - the home of the maple leaf.
On the reverse design by Maurade Baynton, Royal Canadian Mint engravers have replicated The Queen's maple leaves brooch with exacting detail - six enamel maple leaves in autumn colors and edged with brilliants, all twined together with a single Swarovski® pearl at the end. An engraved floral garland follows the curve of the coin while The Queen's Royal Cypher shines above in vibrant color. THE COIN IS IN PERFECT MINT CONDITION AND COMES IN. ALL ORIGINAL MINT PACKAGING WITH COA #984. A unique keepsake for any coin collector - the timeless collectible that will forever cherish the brooch The Queen selected to express her affection for Canada during her most recent visit for the 22nd time at the age of 84 in 2010 - and had observers mystified as to its origins!
