Finish: Proof

Weight: 31.89

Mintage: 5500

Design: The coin features a detailed reproduction of the Cross of Valour, as originally designed by the late Bruce W. Beatty, C.M., S.O.M., C.D. Since its creation in 1972, the gold-edged cross with four equal limbs is synonymous with valour, as inscribed on the reverse of the authentic insignia; on the coin's reverse, the insignia's distinctive colour is replicated by the application of red and gold translucent paint over the engraved stylized pattern. At its centre lies the gold version of the motif common to all three Canadian Decorations for Bravery: a maple leaf surrounded by a laurel wreath. Your coin design also includes the engraved commemorative dates "1972" and "2017", as well as the word "CANADA". The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Susanna Blunt.

Packaging: The coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon case with a black beauty box.
