Comment
During World War II, Canada joined forces with the United States to create the First Special Service Force—the first and only time both nations would be seamlessly combined in training, equipment and uniform. Although it was only operational for two years, this elite combat unit demonstrated the power of united national forces against a common foe—and consequently became the forerunner to distinguished Canadian and U.S. units including Canada's Joint-Task-Force 2 and the United States' Navy Seals, Delta Force and Green Berets.For further information about the Devil's Brigade, click here.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Devil's Brigade coin is that it has a unique reverse design that features a stylized skull and crossbones, which is not commonly seen on coins. The design is meant to symbolize the elite fighting unit that the coin is named after, which was a joint Canadian-American special forces unit that operated during World War II. The coin's design is meant to evoke a sense of strength, courage, and sacrifice, and the use of silver bullion gives it a high level of collectibility and value.
