Canada: 2018 $10 100th Anniversary of the Armistice 1/2 oz. Pure Silver Coin

Canada: 2018 $10 100th Anniversary of the Armistice 1/2 oz. Pure Silver Coin

Design: Designed by Canadian artist Laurie McGaw, your coin features a soldier with his head bowed as if in silent prayer for his lost mates, and the poppy as a symbol of remembrance. This special issue coin is an expression of a nation’s gratitude for peace—a memento to honour the legacy of the combatants whose contributions we collectively remember every November 11. At the end of the First World War, the soldier is war weary and contemplative; his helmet is off, he holds his rifle upright; he is grateful that he is alive but his head is bowed, as if in silent prayer for his lost mates. The reverse also includes the engraved text “FINE SILVER 9999 ARGENT PUR” and “CANADA 2018.” The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
