2025 Canada 5 oz Silver Emanuel Hahn's Sketch: Royal Visit
Another RCM first! They are simultaneously honoring history and making history with this innovative thin 5 oz coin, which brings you an engraved representation of Emanuel Hahn’s original sketch of the 1939 silver dollar. In addition to Hahn’s Parliament-themed silver dollar, the Canadian government issued a series of medallions to mark the Royal Visit in 1939, and all of these bore Hahn’s art on their reverse. These medallions were identical in design, but struck in different sizes and materials: 77 mm presentation medallions in gold, silver and tombac; 38 mm silver medallions and bronze ones intended for sale to the public; and a 25 mm bronze medallion to be distributed to Canada’s school children. Struck on the same 5 oz. thin blank as 2024’s Emanuel Hahn’s Original Sketch: Parliament, this 2025 collectible re-creates more than 1,600 lines from the original drawing, including its lettering guidelines and even the paper folds that mark Hahn’s hand-drawn map of Canada, which traces the Royal Tour’s itinerary from sea to sea – A Mari usque ad Mare.

Coin highlights

- Limited mintage of 1,350 coins.
- Packaged in a beautiful black Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
- Obverse: The obverse features the effigy of King George VI by Thomas Humphrey Paget.
- Reverse: Your coin’s reverse is an engraved representation of artist Emanuel Hahn’s hand-drawn concept for the 1939 Royal Visit medallion. Marked by the paper fold lines of the original pencil sketch residing in the National Currency Collection of the Bank of Canada, the reverse 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 “A MARI VSQUE AD MARE” (“From Sea to Sea”), Canada’s official motto, while the Arms of Canada shield is flanked by the year “1939”. The reverse 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”).
