Queen Elizabeth II has been featured in currency ever since she was a little girl. This Canadian $1 featuring a Karsh portrait from 1951 was first issued in 1954. The tiara was removed from the photograph to distinguish it from a Canadian stamp that used the same photo. The original image, with the tiara, was also used in the window of a Canadian banknote issued 61 years later in 2015.
