ABOUT THE MEDAL OF BRAVERY
In 1972, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II established a group of medals recognizing courageous acts: the Cross of Valour, the Star of Courage and the Medal of Bravery. These are Canada's Decorations for Bravery, which are awarded based on the degree of peril faced by the recipients. The Medal of Bravery is one of Canada's best known civilian honours for acts of exceptional courage. Since its inception, the Medal of Bravery has been awarded by the Governor General of Canada to nearly 3,300 people—Canadians and others, civilians and combatants, living and deceased—in recognition of "acts of bravery in hazardous circumstances" that range from animal attacks to burning buildings. The act of bravery does not have to take place in Canada, but it should involve at least one Canadian and/or Canadian interests. Any person or organization can nominate someone they feel deserves the Medal of Bravery. Nominations must be submitted to the Chancellery of Honours at Rideau Hall within two years of the incident.

DESIGN
The coin's reverse resembles Canada's Medal of Bravery, which recognizes "acts of bravery in hazardous circumstances." A maple leaf is surrounded by a laurel wreath on the coin's reverse, which also includes the medal's obverse inscription, "BRAVERY BRAVOURE", and the dates "1972 - 2022" to commemorate the medal's 50th anniversary. The coin's obverse indicates a face value of "5 DOLLARS" and features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
DID YOU KNOW?
- The first medals were awarded in July 1972, just two months after the Medal of Bravery's inception. The silver medal is worn suspended from a red ribbon with three blue stripes; for female recipients, the same ribbon is fashioned into a bow.
- You don't have to be Canadian to be awarded the Medal of Bravery—in fact, the act of bravery could even take place outside of Canada, so long as it involves at least one Canadian and/or Canadian interests.
- Post-nominals are sets of letters placed after one's name to denote select honours, qualifications or appointments—they're generally used in official correspondence or formal documents. Recipients of the Medal of Bravery are entitled to have the letters "M.B." placed after their names (e.g. John Doe, M.B.).
- This isn't the first Canadian coin to feature the Medal of Bravery design: it appeared on a commemorative 25-cent circulation coin issued in 2006, as well as a Special Edition Proof Silver Dollar and a Limited-Edition Proof Silver Dollar with colour enamel. It's also featured on a 1 oz. 99.99% pure silver commemoration of this medal's milestone anniversary in 2022!
PACKAGING
The coin comes in a colourful gift card folder with a removable coin capsule that allows easy access to the Moments to Hold collectible.
