Highlights:
A historic keepsake issued on the passing of the last known veteran of the First World War. Coin features selective red enamelling to highlight the poppy, Canada’s poignant symbol of remembrance.
Lest we forget.
Every poppy worn on coats and hats during the waning, grey days of November is symbolic of a life touched by war; the countless men and women who stepped forward to serve the cause of peace and freedom.
They witnessed the worst and the best of humanity; served with selfless bravery; countless acts that fell with their heroes never to be told. And those who did return, part of them remained lost forever.
Though veterans stand proud during tributes of remembrance, their tears fall fresh as yesterday. And, as 2010 claims Canada’s last known veteran of the First World War, those of us who enjoy the liberties bequeathed by his generations’ sacrifice, pay tribute to their legacy.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2010 Canadian Silver Poppy $1 Coin is that it has a unique design feature. The poppy flower is selectively plated with a layer of red enamel, giving the appearance of a red poppy on a silver background. This adds a touch of color and depth to the coin's design, making it stand out from other coins in the series.
