Queen Elizabeth II (2004)

Canada

This is one of the more attractive portraits of the mature Queen and its rendition on the 20-dollar note maintains the Bank of Canada's reputation of using the better portraits of Queen Elizabeth. For this portrait, Her Majesty is informally attired in a plain dress and wearing one of her favoured pearl necklaces. (The Queen has three different three-row pearl necklaces. One was made at the time of her accession from pearls in the possession of her family, one is a present from the Amir of Qatar on the occasion of her coronation in 1953 and the third is a gift from King George V, presented to Elizabeth at the time of the King's Silver Jubilee.)
