2018 10 oz Canada 100th Anniversary of the First World War Armistice .9999 Silver Proof Coin

They are the fallen: the more than 66,000 from Canada and Newfoundland who gave their lives fighting for peace during the First World War. Strongly influenced by the era’s one-cent circulation coin, this 10-ounce tribute piece honours their memory through a seldom-seen view of the Angel of Victory statue, which was erected in three Canadian cities as a memorial to those lost in the “war to end all wars.”

Special features:

• HISTORY IN HAND: A thought-provoking tribute to peace, and a memorial to Canada’s fallen combatants of the First World War.
• A CANADIAN MEMORIAL: Your large-sized coin (76 mm) features a seldom-seen view of any of the three Angel of Victory statues erected in Montreal, Winnipeg and Vancouver after the war.
• FROM THEIR HANDS TO YOURS: Channeling the spirit of 1918, your coin was strongly influenced by the one-cent coin in circulation between 1858 and 1920. The maple leaf wreath is a contemporary take on the penny’s maple vine, while the inner and outer ring of dots were kept intact from the original design. It’s an added homage to a coin that was quite possibly a token from home for many Canadians who served overseas!
• ATTENTION TO DETAIL: Every design element has been painstakingly engraved in outstanding detail
• EXQUISITE CRAFTSMANSHIP: While the mirror-like proof finish adds a luminous quality, multiple finishing techniques ensure every element of this complex design is made visible.
• PRESTIGIOUS: Crafted from 10 oz. of 99.99% pure silver, your coin has a very low mintage of 750 worldwide and is GST/HST exempt.
• A STANDOUT PIECE: A meticulously crafted piece with special significance and high appeal for military or history-themed collectors, or all who seek to honour and preserve the memory of those who never returned from the war.
• INCLUDES SERIALIZED CERTIFICATE! The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins. Most of these are serialized certifications, meaning that each certificate is given a unique number, starting at 1
