Mark the first anniversary of the Coronation with His Majesty’s official portrait in full colour.
The Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III on May 6, 2023, was the first coronation of a Canadian Head of State and Sovereign in over seven decades, and for many Canadians, it was their first view of a ceremony that represents continuity, tradition and duty. On the occasion of the first anniversary of the coronation, the historical event is commemorated on this colourful Special Edition Proof Dollar, which features the official portrait of His Majesty King Charles III in full regalia on Coronation Day.
