1945V Valued Member Canada 386 Posts	Posted 01/20/2013 1:28 pm I agree with dartviking, we should replace queen on coins with Canadian figures (i.e. prime ministers, aboriginal leaders, etc) that are more relevant to modern Canadians. Report this Post to the Staff
Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 01/20/2013 3:12 pm Well, from the ages of around to 20-35 you look sort of the same - your face doesn't change that much. But getting into your 50s and 60s you see the change more pronounced. I prefer the effigy design of the 1990s to the early 2000s - it looked the most elegant to me. Although, I agree with dartviking's comment about there being more to Canada than just its British counterparts. We often ignore the Vikings, the French, and to a greater degree, First Nations.

TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4870 Posts	Posted 01/20/2013 5:29 pm Aren't Canadian figures already on bank notes? I prefer the Monarchs on the coins personally. Report this Post to the Staff
Anjohl Pillar of the Community Canada 815 Posts	Posted 01/21/2013 03:42 am 1) A viking coin would be a great idea! I don't mean on the reverse, I mean on the obverse. 2) I like the "big crown" of the 90's effigy myself, though the young bust will always by my favorite. Busts 1 and 3 are my favorite, I don't care for 2 and 4. Report this Post to the Staff
WildYapok Valued Member Canada 83 Posts	Posted 01/21/2013 5:52 pm I know the image of Elizabeth II has changed a few times, but was wondering if any of the other monarchs had different images? (or any other changes such as George VI having mention of India removed in 1948) Report this Post to the Staff
TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4870 Posts	Posted 01/30/2013 08:00 am My favourite was the 1953-1964 portrait. Report this Post to the Staff

Apparently, it upset a lot of people and was put back on all Canadian coinage, either as DEI GRATIA or shortend to D:G: edited: got my facts wrong.

legouge Valued Member Canada 165 Posts	Posted 01/30/2013 12:03 pm Anjohl, or anyone else for that matter, why does the monarch has to be on coins? She is not on all notes. Report this Post to the Staff
