This fine silver collectable coin with gold plating commemorated the first visit by the British monarchy to Canada's parliament buildings. The late 1930s were a time of tumult for the British monarchy. King George V passed away in January 1936. His son Edward VIII's ascension was short-lived, leaving his brother, George VI, to take the throne. The Government of Canada, unable to issue a commemorative coin in time for George VI's 1937 coronation, decided to celebrate His Majesty's planned royal visit in 1939 and thus this commemorative silver dollar was born.
