- Description
- Round silver medal and box. The medal commemorates 125 years since Confederation. (a) A round silver medal honouring the 125th Anniversary of the Confederation of Canada. The medal was struck by the Royal Canadian Mint. The medal honours Canadians who have made a significant contribution to their fellow citizens, to their community, or to Canada.

The Front of the medal contains the image of The Royal Cypher (EIIR) of the Queen of Canada, Elizabeth II, surmounted by a crown superimposed on a large single maple leaf, circumscribed with the legend “CONFEDERATION” and “CONFÉDÉRATION” and the dates “1867 — 1992” at the bottom.The Reverse Side contains The shield of arms of Canada encircled by the motto ribbon of the Order of Canada “DESIDERANTE MELIOREM PATRIAM,” which mean "They Desire a Better Country") ensigned by the central portion of the Royal Arms of Canada (a crowned lion holding a maple leaf in the right front paw) and circumscribed with the motto A MARI USQUE AD MARE at the bottom. The medal was only issued in 1992 and could not be awarded to a person who died prior to January 1, 1992. The Medal has no Bar or post-nominal. Nominations were made through the various branches of Government, as well as organization throughout the country.This Medal was awarded to approximately 42,000 Canadians.(b)The box is blue with both a top and bottom.
