1976 Bronze Medal Queen Elizabeth Visit to U.S. Medallic Art Co. CT, 38mm

Coin Details

Description

This 38mm bronze medal produced in 1976 by Medallic Art Company of Connecticut commemorates Queen Elizabeth II's visit to the United States during the American Bicentennial celebrations. The Queen's visit in July 1976 was a diplomatic highlight of the Bicentennial, symbolizing the reconciliation and enduring friendship between the United States and Great Britain two centuries after the American Revolution. The visit included events in Philadelphia, where the Queen presented a Bicentennial Bell to the American people, and in Washington, D.C. The 38mm bronze format represents the accessible base of the multi-metal series produced for this visit, with silver and gold versions also struck. Medallic Art Company's location in Connecticut is noted in the title, confirming the firm's relocation from New York City. The Bicentennial year generated an enormous volume of commemorative medals, and the Queen's visit produced one of the most diplomatically significant medal subjects of the celebration.
