1996 Canada $20 Aviation - Avro Arrow CF-105 Sterling Silver Coin

Coin comes with COA and RCM issued case. This product may or may not come with the outer cardboard sleeve. As is typical with this series, the outer cardboard sleeve might have some light wear, the capsule may be scratched, and the coin might have light toning or toning spots.

One of the finest achievements in Canadian aviation history, the delta wing Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow was never allowed to fulfill its mission. Its role was to replace the Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck as a supersonic all weather interceptor. A source of national pride, the Arrow incorporated advanced technical innovations and became a symbol of Canadian excellence.

The Mk. 2 production version of the Arrow, powered with two Avro Canada Iroquois turbo jet engines, would have been capable of achieving Mach 2 with fully military load. This aircraft was the culmination of research and development unprecedented in Canada's aeronautical history.
