Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is portrayed on all Canadian coinage by tradition as Canada is a constitutional monarchy. In fact, the image of the reigning sovereign has appeared on Canadian coins since the Mint was founded in 1908. The 1952 accession to the throne proclaimed Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as the Queen of Canada, and the Government of Canada reiterated its decision to retain the image of the sovereign on Canadian coins.
