This pure silver coin is a reproduction of an original sketch from sculptor/coin designer Emanuel Hahn: his hand-drawn map of Canada concept for medallions commemorating the 1939 Royal Visit. Struck on the same 5 oz. thin blank as 2024’s Emanuel Hahn’s Original Sketch: Parliament coin, this 99.99% pure silver collectible features a re-creation of more than 1,600 lines from the pencil sketch, including its lettering guidelines and even the paper folds that mark Hahn’s map of Canada, which traces the Royal Tour’s itinerary from sea to sea – A Mari usque ad Mare. HST/GST Exempt. 

The Design:

Hahn’s inscription reads “REGEM ET REGINAM CANADA SALVAT” and is reproduced here; it was later corrected to “REGEM ET REGINAM CANADA SALVTAT” (“Canada salutes the King and Queen”). More than 1,600 lines were carefully re-created from the original sketch, including the paper folds, and all are struck incuse to mimic the appearance of an old pencil sketch.
