Commemoration: It was issued to commemorate the first-ever visit of a reigning British monarch (King George VI and Queen Elizabeth) to Canada in 1939, a significant event preceding World War II.
Designers: The obverse (featuring the conjoined profiles of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth) was designed by Percy Metcalf, also known for his work on the 1937 British Coronation Medal. The reverse (showing a map of Canada and the royal couple's route) was designed by Emanuel Hahn.
Varieties: These medallions were produced in various sizes and compositions, including larger presentation medals in gold, silver, and tombac, bronze and silver medallions for public sale, and smaller bronze medallions distributed to Canadian schoolchildren.
Historical Significance: Despite their commonality, these medallions hold important historical value as a tangible link to a pivotal moment in Canadian history.
