King Charles: 1st monarch in 70 years to make debut on Canadian coin with 2023 Loonie
In 1953, the late Queen Elizabeth’s likeness made its debut on Canadian currency. Seventy years later, her recently crowned son, King Charles, is sharing the same milestone.
The Royal Canadian Mint unveiled a brand new 2023 Loonie on Tuesday, which features a portrait of the British monarch. The decision was made this year, after more than 350 artists and engravers submitted designs to the institution.
Effigy designer Steven Rosati - whose design was approved by Buckingham Palace - said he was honoured his design was chosen and that "King Charles' portrait couldn't have turned out better."

Lovely design, with coins less and less common in today's society it's a lovely symbol of Canada's great constitutional system!
Our Supreme leader must be feeling so left out
He’s the loon
The monarchy is great because, unlike in America with a President who is the head of state, Trudeau, in turn, is not the defining figure of Canada!
The 'Chucky'. For what it's worth.
The Chucky Loony?
Yeah who's going to use that homeless people
Is this channel from India?
You think they're showing the same thing with that man and in his family brand
Do you know that from the looks of America's coin so far the older styles to newer ones they're looking like more failed ratio coins then production level coins
Looks like Doug Ford.
Harry is a combat veteran and the founder of the invictus games; you're who exactly?
Here in Canada we will refuse to put any Iconic Canadians on our currency but we are quick to put the UK royals on our currency. These Royals do absolutely nothing for Canada. This also proves Canada is not an independent Country.
Queen Elizabeth was the last surviving true monarch. They might as well have put ME-ghan Markle on that worthless thing.
Canada is an independent country, being a constitutional monarchy in fact reinforces our sovereignty and uniqueness as a society.
Completely agree
His title is King of Canada. He is our head of state, I can't think of anybody more fitting. Canada is a completely independent country, we just share the same monarch with 15 other countries (which are all legally separate positions).
Without the UK, Canada wouldn't exist. You need to learn your history.
Broke and loyal is dubious though as the productivity rate depends on advance degrees.
They should just recycle those! I will be asking for different change if someone tries to give me something with that horse is behind on it.
Should have been Terry Fox or someone like that. (Until this colonialism problem has been meaningfully addressed).
I want the first one for my collection
I wouldn’t buy one of those they ripped off the public forever.
Doesn't he identify as queen?
A bunch of nonsense...
Crazy. Definitely costs way more than a dollar to make our fancy dollars. So in reality our money isn't worth the material its made from.
I looked it up between 3 to 6 cents each when they switched to steel in 2012. A coin of course can circulate for 30 years as well.
King really? Its 2023 about to be 2024 for God's sake 🙄
Ridiculous isn't it...
Still the Canadian head of state
@@Matt-YT Pull your head out from wherever it is you have it stuck, seriously...
It seems Canada is still controlled by the royals in the UK. Here we are leaving iconic Canadians just to place some royal snob on our dollar.
@Rocksteady246 Canada is a parliamentary monarchy. Charles III is the Head of State. Like it or not, these are facts
I'm glad we're pretty much a cashless society at this point. That coin is hideous.
Tis a bit strange when you consider the fact that his buddy at the largest & most influential think tank is pushing for one world digital currency.🤔
Long live our new King!! Gratitude from Ontario 🎉
zombie
