Her face is engraved on our coins. It graces the $20 bill and appears on some of our stamps. Even buildings, parks, mountains and islands are named after her. Here’s a look at some of the things that will — or won’t — change after her death:

Coins: The Royal Canadian Mint says all coins engraved with the Queen’s effigy will remain legal tender and remain in circulation indefinitely. She notes that nickels bearing the likeness of her father, King George VI, are still legal tender today.

As new coins are produced, the mint says it will be up to the Government of Canada to decide whether to change the image on the obverse (head) of the coins, which currently features the Queen. Story continues below ad “The Mint must await the Government’s direction on a new obverse design when a change to the Monarch occurs, but we will work closely with the relevant authorities when that change is requested.”

$20 bill: The Bank of Canada says the current multilateral $20 bill featuring the Queen will continue to circulate for years to come. But her image will eventually be replaced by that of her successor.

Stamps: Canada Post won’t say what will happen to existing stamps featuring the Queen, but will likely continue to accept those used after her death as legal postage.

As for whether the image of the new monarch will appear on new stamps, Canada Post says: “We have a National Stamp Advisory Committee that evaluates and determines elements of stamp issues. These details are only revealed when the seal is made public.” Story continues below ad

Buildings, places and organizations named after the Queen: There is no reason to assume that many, if any, will change their names. After all, many buildings, places and organizations in Canada continue to bear Queen Victoria’s name more than a century after her death. Canadian Armed Forces: The Queen’s Own Rifles, Canada’s oldest infantry regiment, will not be changing its name, which is actually in honor of Queen Victoria.

However, Queen Elizabeth’s death will have some impact on more than a dozen other regiments, military branches and military organizations for which the Queen has been the titular head or patron. According to the Ministry of National Defence, the Queen is colonel in 12 regiments of armor and infantry, including the Governor-General’s Horse Guards. He holds the same title in the CAF Legal Branch and the Canadian Military Engineers Branch and is a Captain General in the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery. Story continues below ad

He is also a patron of many naval-related organizations, including the Navy League of Canada and the Royal Canadian Naval Benevolent Fund. Queen Elizabeth has filled these roles in her personal capacity. As such, the titles “will not automatically transfer to the new Sovereign,” the department says. If they choose to name a new commander-in-chief or patron, the department says each regiment or organization would have to submit a request to the new monarch or other members of the Royal Family for consideration. © 2022 The Canadian Press
