From 1969 to 1989 she was wearing a crown - is that a different version than the one you’re referring to?
This is the one I’m referring to.
No, we’ve never had that one in Canada. We’ve had four versions - the early one with ribbons; the one from the 60s to 1989 with a light crown sloping in the back of HM’s head; the one from 1989 to a few years ago with a heavier crown, again sloping; and the current one without any headgear.
Interestingly, in Canada, we have had our same images (maple leaf, beaver, Bluenose schooner, and caribou) since the 30s, except for commemorative issues. (The 50 cent piece has Canada’s coat of arms, but it’s rarely used as currency. The loonie and toonie, of course, were issued in the 80s and 90s respectively, but they’ve got wildlife too.)
It’s actually worth about $3.00 if I wanted to sell it, so I came out ahead there too. 
I once found a 1914-D penny . . . in a PARKING LOT!!! It’s worth a few hundred dollars in that condition.
…but can you sell it while it’s in a parking lot?
Curiously, I got a wheat ear penny just yesterday.
One time I got Richard II float change and my friend got a Edward VII bool change.
Could be. It certainly doesn’t look like any of the current British crowns:
