The 2016 $3 Queen Elizabeth Rose Proof 1/4 oz. of .9999 fine silver Coin released by the Royal Canadian Mint features the Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and two opens blooms of a Queen Elizabeth rose on the reverse. The coin has a pink gold plating to replicate the colour of the roses.

The U.S. Mint will release pink gold coins in 2018 to commemorate the fight against breast cancer. The rose coin went on sale in April and has run out of stock many times. The coin has received an amazing response ever since it has been released.
