Nova Scotia artist Bonnie Ross captures one of countless emotional farewells replayed on train platforms across Canada as our volunteers left to assemble in Valcartier for war in Europe. The 2014 Proof Fine Silver Dollar features gold plating selectively applied and depicts a couple in a farewell embrace as military recruits board a train for basic training.
Five finishes! The relief (raised foreground) incorporates the use of five (5) different finishes using a new laser engraving which beautifully accentuate the design. Note the different finishes used on the background, the ground and the top windows on the train, the uniforms of the soldiers and the lower windows on the train, the train, bags and skin of all the people, and the lady's dress and the main soldier's socks.

DID YOU KNOW? Canada declared war first, entering World War I automatically on August 4, 1914, when Britain declared war on Germany. As a British Dominion, Canada was legally bound to this decision. In contrast, the United States did not declare war until April 6, 1917, nearly three years later, hmm?
