Product Overview
Selfless courage. Every day, in every corner of the globe, ordinary people perform extraordinary acts of heroism. Imagine running into a burning building to rescue people or diving into frigid waters to help someone who's clinging to an ice floe. And more often than not, the individuals involved have never met each other before. 

What transpires between them becomes a defining moment for the hero, for the victim and for the community in which they live. Louder than words, it is a declaration that life is valuable, that goodness reigns within the human heart—how else could one person choose to face such hazardous circumstances and risk their life to save or protect another? By rushing to the aid of one individual, society is elevated to a higher ideal. 

The Medal of Bravery was established in 1972 as part of the Canadian Honours System. It is awarded by the Governor General of Canada to recognize "acts of bravery in hazardous circumstances"; a lasting expression of gratitude to Canada's everyday heroes and a tribute to their selfless courage that defines this nation. Inspired by the Medal of Bravery, the design of this coin features a maple leaf surrounded by a laurel wreath with selective enamel.
