The Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal
The Commemorative Medal for
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee was created to mark the 50th
anniversary of the accession of Her Majesty to the Throne on February 6th,
1952.
It is awarded to those
persons who have made a significant contribution to Canada, to their community
or to their fellow Canadians.
The obverse side of the
medal bears the current Canadian effigy of Her Majesty; the reverse side, the
Royal Crown above a single maple leaf on which is superimposed the Royal Cypher. The medal is suspended from a ribbon on
which the outer stripes appear in red, followed by broad royal blue stripes,
white stripes and a red stripe in the CENTER.
