His portrait was then approved by both government officials and Buckingham Palace. The image is of a portrait created by Montreal-based artist Steven Rosati, whose image was selected from a pool of over 350 artists and engravers following a “complex” multi-step process, according to the mint. Starting in December, Canadians will begin seeing a small number of $1 coins featuring the new portrait of the King. The new loonie will maintain its signature gold colour and 11-sided Reuleaux polygon shape, as well as the image of the iconic bird that is its namesake on the reverse side Photo by Royal Canadian Mint
