Design:
Royal Canadian Mint engravers have recreated one of the heraldic Tudor roses featured on the Burmese tiara using genuine rubies to replicate the rose's centre, and selective platinum plating to define the surrounding petals.
The ruby's inextinguishable flame has made it one of the most valued precious stones, even surpassing the diamond as the wedding stone of choice among ancients for its faithful commitment. When Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was given rubies as a wedding gift, theBurmese people included 96 gems to protect her fromthe 96 diseases believed to afflict the human body. The flaming red ruby is also believed to increasethe wearer's longevity, personal power, and propel them towards their goals.
The regal ruby has certainly stood The Queen in good stead as she has served the Commonwealth longer than any of her predecessors. For Canada, no other royal relationship has been as rich and enduring as that shared with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. She has been a fixture throughout the lives of most Canadians, winning more affection and respect with every passing year as she continues to serve with thesame devotion she pledged over 65 years ago. To this day, Elizabeth II stands as a steadfast embodiment of traditions that date back over a thousand years, yet she has also shone as a luminary through periods of unprecedented social and technological change.
