Reflect, honour and remember. Your two $2 commemorative circulation coins comes with two versions of the coin, struck and colourized, are presented in every Commemorative Collector Keepsake Card, as we pay tribute to all who serve, and to the anonymous hero who represents Canada’s fallen. packaged together in a square folder designed for easy handling and gift-giving, viewing and displaying.
Designed by Canadian artist Mary-Ann Liu, sculptor of the bronze relief on Canada’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the coin’s reverse commemorates the 25th anniversary of the repatriation of Canada’s Unknown Soldier. The inner core features a street-level view of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in front of the National War Memorial in Ottawa. The base of the granite tomb extends onto the outer ring, which bears the words “CANADA”, a face value of “2 DOLLARS”, the bilingual inscription “TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER LA TOMBE DU SOLDAT INCONNU”, and two maple leaf security features. The silhouettes of four sentries representing all Canadians who serve or have served appear behind the tomb. The inclusion of a poppy, bright red on the colourized coin, completes this poignant expression, honouring sacrifice and national service. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
