2018 Armistice Collector Card
This 2018 royal Canadian coin Armistice Commemorative Collector Keepsake honours the 100th Anniversary of the Armistice of 1918. Such an event is significant because it ended the First World War and it's only fitting to have it preserved in this particular 2018 Royal Canadian coin.
The reverse image by Canadian artist Laurie McGaw depicts a poignant pairing of two symbols of remembrance.
