Description from APMEX.

Issued in 1977 by the Royal Canadian Mint to
honor the 25th anniversary of the first Canadian born
Governor General. This sterling silver medal has an ASW
of 1.428. The obverse has a likeness of Queen Elizabeth
II. Reverse: Depicts the four Canadian born Governors
General since 1952.


One Sterling Silver, One Cupro Nickel
I really like the obverses of these with the 25th
Anniversary of the Coronation.

Very nice set of modern RCM medals! I have one of these two-piece sets as well.

The 45mm size of these medals presents a nice large "canvas" for the four portraits on the reverse.

I collect these medals as companion pieces to Canada's 1977 commemoratve silver dollar that also marked QEII's 25th anniversary.

Thanks for sharing!

It is a great companion piece to the 1977 Silver Dollar
Commemorative honouring the 25th Anniversary of the
Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

The three different finishes;
brilliant devices on brilliant fields in the Specimen Dollar
frosted legends and devices with mirrored fields on the Proof Silver Medal, and
matte finish of the Cupro-Nickel Medal


there is great contrast in the presentation but similar design.
Thanks Commems.
