Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 60th anniversary of the Raid of Dieppe, a significant event during World War II. The Raid of Dieppe was a failed Allied assault on the German-occupied port of Dieppe in France, which took place on August 19, 1942. The coin's design features a depiction of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, who were the reigning monarchs of Canada at the time of the raid. The coin's silver composition and weight also make it a unique and valuable collector's item.
