20 Dollars - Elizabeth II Canadian peacekeeping in Cyprus

Reverse

Coin was designed by Canadian artist Silvia Pecota and features a soldier standing at the base of the tower, which conveys the Peacekeeper's need to be constantly at the ready, while the Master Corporal in the foreground highlights the most recognizable component of the Peacekeeper's uniform—the signature blue beret rendered in coloured enamel.

Comment

Canadian battalions remained in Cyprus until the mid-1990's and a small group of observers is still present today. UNFICYP is now in its 50th year and has witnessed a minimum of one tour from virtually every infantry battalion in Canada, with armoured and artilleryregiments also serving.

This eye-catching coin automatically makes you think of all the men and women who have served with the Canadian Forces, but its theme will undoubtedly strike a chord with anyone who feels a sense of pride in Canada's leadership role in the global peacekeeping movement, including historians, political pundits; anyone who stands against violence and supports the peaceful resolution of all conflicts. Its design provides a privileged glimpse into a United Nations observation post and of the difficult and isolated terrain that often characterizes the world's conflict zones.

Packaging:
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a maroonclamshell case lined with flock and protected by a coloured sleeve.
