Canada: 2020 $10 75th Anniversary of the Liberation of Netherlands: Canadian Army Pure Silver Coloured Coin
Design: Designed by Joel Kimmel, the reverse uses selective colour to highlight a warm exchange between a soldier of the First Canadian Army and a Dutch civilian during the Liberation of the Netherlands (1945). The woman offers a gift of tulips to the Canadian infantry soldier, who is happy to see a friendly face. In the engraved background, a small crowd has gathered to cheer and wave at the Canadians as they travel along a canal street. The top features a repeating "V" for Victory in Morse code above the words "CANADA 10 DOLLARS". The obverse features the effigy of King George VI by T. H. Paget and a Victory privy mark.
