2014 Canada $25 75th Ann. First Royal Visit Ultra High Relief (No Tax)

History was made when King George VI and Queen Elizabeth visited Canada in 1939. It was the first time a reigning monarch had ever travelled to North America. The royal tour was more than two years in the making; a grand, 29-day voyage across Canada from east to west and back again-almost 14,000 kilometres by rail.

The reverse features ultra-high relief effigies of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. Royal Canadian Mint engravers re-created the King's military hat to accurately represent the attire he wore during the royal tour of 1939. Royal Canadian Mint engravers reproduced archival photographs from the royal tour of 1939.
