She's on all coins and the $20 bill.

If the state comes after you criminally the style of cause is always
"R v [your name]" The R stands for "Rex (King) or Regina (Queen)".

Technically, when you sue the government it is "[Your name] v Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Ontario" or something like that. Usually it just shows up as [you] v Ontario.

It's all a formality though and doesn't really mean much.

I've gone way off topic but thought it might be interesting to share.
