Your coin is a faithful tribute to the table medal's original design by world-renowned engravers J.S. and A.B. Wyon of London, England. Inspired by the rich medallic traditions of the 16th century, the design features allegorical representations of Great Britain and the fledgling Dominion of Canada.

Britannia, Great Britain's timeless allegory, is peacefully seated and is adorned with a helmet and armour. She holds a trident on her right as a shield ornamented with theRoyal Union Flag rests on her side. A lion, the stalwart symbol of Great Britain, is seated at Britannia's feet and is resting its head on her knees. Britannia is presenting a figurative representation of the British North American Act that reads CONFEDERATION.

The CONFEDERATION scroll is being bestowed upon four young maidens, who gaze cherishingly upon the matronly Britannia. The maidens represent thefour original provinces in the British North America Act (clockwise from the top): Ontario with a sickle and sheaf symbolizing agriculture; Quebec holding a canoe paddle that represented commerce of the era;Nova Scotia with a shovel representing its rich mining; and New Brunswick with an axe, a representationof forestry.

The design also features the Latin adage JUVENTAS ET PATRIUS VIGOR, or YOUTHAND PATRIOTIC STRENGTH, as was presented on the original design in 1867. The reverse also features the double-dated years of "1867-2017", the word "CANADA" and the face value "100 DOLLARS"

While the obverse of the original 1867 medal featured the single effigy of Queen Victoria, the reigning monarch at the time of Confederation, the obverse of this new coin features the dual effigies of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt and Queen Victoria by Leonard Charles Wyon. The obverse also includes the cypher used by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and the cypher that was used by Queen Victoria. Each cypher is ensigned with a crown depictedin a style specifically used by each monarch.

Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a Canada 150 beauty box.
