| Additional information |
Issued to mark the diamond wedding anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip in 2013, this circulating commemorative was part of the Royal Canadian Mint's increasingly frequent practice of using the standard quarter format for anniversary and holiday issues — a program that had expanded considerably since the 1999 Millennium quarters. Philip and Elizabeth married on 20 November 1947 at Westminster Abbey, making 2013 their 66th anniversary, not the more commonly celebrated diamond at 60 years.
