Juventas et Patrius vigor: 1867 Confederation Medal
With the British North America Act, Canadian Confederation became a reality after several hard-fought years of debate and conferences. As a celebration of the historic event, the Fathers of Confederation commissioned two of the greatestengravers of the 19th century to produce Canada’s first officially sanctioned medal. One example of the original medal struck in goldwas presented to Queen Victoria in recognition of her support for Confederation, while a silver medal was awarded to Sir John A. MacDonald and other prominent Fathers of Confederation. Additional silver and bronze medals were presented over the following years to noteworthy Canadians who contributed in a significant way to life in Canada.

This coin is the first issue of the Confederation of Canada medals.
