2025 $50 Five-Ounce Fine Silver 1939 Royal Visit Medallion Sketch Design Large 110 mm with Exclusive Bonus Original 1939 Bronze Royal Visit Medallion

With a huge diameter of 110 mm (4.33 inches), this impressive 2025 five-ounce fine silver $50 dollar coin makes a perfect canvas to showcase a fascinating piece of Canada's history. The story behind this coin dates back to 1938 when renowned artist Emanual Hahn created a sketch for a 1939 medallion that would mark the Royal Visit of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. Hahn's design was adopted and issued as a collector's item in 1939, with variation struck in bronze and in silver. At the same time, the original sketch was archived and preserved in the National Currency Collection of the Bank of Canada.

This 2025 $50 coin is a re-creation of artist Emanuel Hahn's original hand-drawn concept for the 1939 Royal Visit medallion. Marked by the paper fold lines of the original pencil sketch, the design shows a map of Canada that traces the route followed by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth during their visit in 1939. At the top is a ribbon bearing Canada's official motto, A Mari Vsque ad Mare ("From Sea to Sea"), while the Arms of Canada shield is flanked by the year "1939." The coin design re-creates the perspective lines and other preliminary graphic elements drawn by the artist, including the lettering guidelines surrounding Regem et Reginam Canada Salvat, an erroneous Latin inscription that was later corrected to Regem et Reginam Canada Salvtat ("Canada Salutes the King and Queen"). The obverse features the effigy of King George VI by Thomas Humphrey Paget.
