I believe it's just the two, as she has had two uncrowned portraits (including the current one.) This is only for circulated coins, as I don't collect NCLT.

Assuming we are only talking Canadian coinage, yes I agree. Just the 2. Other crowns have been worn on other countries coins.

The '65-'89 is really a tiara, but close enough. I have seen quite a few different crowned varieties, I think it would make a cool world coin type collection.  |

It's funny that you should say that, yotie. Because I was thinking exactly the same thing last night as I was searching through coin rolls and seeing the variations of the crowns. Great minds think alike!  |

G'day,
I have started a collection of portraits of Her Majesty on notes.
Apparently, the full set is about 800 notes.
If you're collecting hats, you may consider the portraits used on medals. There were some used that I thought were very poorly-composed and inelegant. Particular examples would be the Rhodeia Medal 1980, and the South Atlantic Medal of 1983. I'm glad to say that that particular portrait was not used on coins that circulated through my hands.

That's an excellent type collection idea!

And from '90 through '03, she wears a diadem.

Not in Canada.
Prince Phillip has appeared on several medals, though, but again, not in Canada (that I can recall, anyway).

so the king on the older coins "like in the 20s" was that queen Elizabeth's father? And I was wondering who the guy is on the nickels in like the 40s and 50's
