The Royal Canadian Mint in Winnipeg is set Tuesday to showcase its model of the King that will appear on one side of all Canadian coins. The mint said a small amount of 2023-dated coins with the King are to circulate in early December. Coin exchanges are set to take place later in the month at the mint's Ottawa and Winnipeg boutiques.
The image features work by Canadian portrait artist Steven Rosati, who has designed other coins for the mint, including six silver National Hockey League goalie coins and a 100th anniversary commemorative loonie in honour of the Toronto Maple Leafs. The mint's website says it invited more than 350 artists and engravers to submit a portfolio to its review panel. Shortlisted artists were provided mandatory design requirements and their work was judged on esthetics, technical requirements and mass-production suitability. Part of the design is a profile of the left side of the King's face, which is opposite of the portrait of the late Queen Elizabeth II
