1939 Canada Royal Visit Commemorative Dollar KM# 38
Up for sale is a coin minted to commemorate and important event in the annals of Canadian and world history. In the months leading up to World War II, the British Royal Family made a special tour across Canada, briefly detouring into the United States. It was the first time a reigning British monarch stepped foot on North American soil. The tour, which included a four-day visit to the United States, reinforced critical Anglo-Canadian and Anglo-American relations on the eve of the Second World War. King George and Queen Elizabeth spent a month in Canada touring the nation from May 17 to June 15. In addition to a series of medals, this silver dollar coin was produced to commemorate this historic event. This coin’s reverse design was designed by Emmanuel Hahn. The façade of the Canadian Parliament building in Ottawa is featured prominently. In the center is the Peace Tower. Initially constructed to replace the Victoria Tower which crumbled in a fire in 1878, the Peace Tower also serves as a monument to Canadian soldiers who perished in World War I. The Memorial Chamber is home to altars and books of remembrance honoring all Canadians who have given their lives in military service. On the design, the hands on the clock-tower are set at the 11 o’clock position. The First World War ended on the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. Likewise, the peace which followed the First World War was entering its final hour. The Parliament building is surrounded with the Latin words, “FIDE SVORVM REGNAT” (He reigns by the faith of his people). Mintage for this coin stands at 1,363,816. Some of these coins were struck twice and evidence of doubling can be found on the engraver’sinitials below the royal portrait.Please view photos and feel free to ask questions.

Let’s discuss offers: If we have “make an offer enabled”, please make a reasonable offer. We try to pay a fair price when we buy coins,
so 30% off offers will be ignored. eBay makes more per coin when you buy it than I do.

Let’s discuss feedback: We are not perfect. When we make a mistake, we will admit to it and fix it. We respectfully request that
