Obverse: Crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, in a high-collared ermine cloak and wearing the collar of the Garter and Badge of the Bath, and facing right. There is a raised rim but no legend. Reverse: The reverse shows the Royal Cypher E II R (Elizabeth II Regina) beneath a St. Edward's Crown. The legend around the edge. There is a raised rim. Lettering: ELIZABETH II REGINA CORONATA MCMLIII E II R CANADA ("Queen Elizabeth II Crowned 1953.") The design is framed by a decorative border. The full inscription reads CANADA at the bottom. Struck at the Royal Canadian Mint in Ottawa. The 1953 Coronation Medallion was issued to celebrate the formal crowning of Queen Elizabeth II. While the official coronation took place on June 2, 1953, at Westminster Abbey, celebrations were held across the Commonwealth. This medallion served as a personal memento of the event for millions of Canadians. The use of the Mary Gillick portrait on this token mirrors the design used on Canada's first "Elizabeth II" circulation coinage. However, unlike the circulation coins of the time, the medallion features a more decorative, commemorative layout specifically for the coronation year. Dimensions: Bronze 17.5 g 33.4 mm Pickup category timeslot {A}
