Wawahtewa Coin Valued Member Canada 57 Posts	Posted 02/01/2024 4:40 pm I've recently stumbled on a 1939 Royal Visit Medal I've never seen before. I've searched and searched and couldn't find any information about it or any other examples. I've contacted multiple reputable dealers and they also had no info about it. So here I am asking for help! Heres what I know Diameter - 51mm Weight - 64.7g Composition - Copper, Silver Plated Allegedly it was minted in England, but I have zero proof of that. It has an extremely detailed, high relief, portrait of the Parliament on the reverse. The obverse is similar to a regular 1939 Medal but obviously theres its defences. If any of you have any info it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

I'm thinking the obverse more closely resembles obverses used on 1937 Coronation medals, perhaps you can find something there.
