2022 Canada $5 Moments to Hold - Remembrance Day 1/4oz Fine Silver (No Tax)
On November 11, Canadians across the country pause to honour Canada’s veterans, past and present—we thank those who serve and have served, and we remember those who fought and fell in service to their country for the freedoms we enjoy today. Our third 2022 Moments to Hold coin invites you to hold onto the memory of Canada’s veterans and remember their stories of bravery and sacrifice, which are represented by the poppies that will forever bloom on this collectible.
While the Poppy has been Canada’s Flower of Remembrance since 1921, the first ceremony honouring Canada’s fallen soldiers took place in 1919, on the anniversary of the armistice that ended the First World War. Known as Armistice Day, this annual commemoration was renamed Remembrance Day in 1931.
Designed by Canadian artist Steve Hepburn, your coin’s reverse honours the memory of Canada’s veterans who paid the ultimate sacrifice, as represented by the official Flower of Remembrance, the poppy. Three poppies in full bloom form a reminder of the achievements and sacrifices made by those who gave their lives for their country. Your coin’s obverse indicates a face value of “5 DOLLARS” and features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
