This Special Wrap Roll Box Set in this specific format and packaging is limited to 5,000 sets worldwide. The total production of the colourized Special Wrap Rolls is 15,000 and of the non-colourized Special Wrap Rolls is 10,000. (Rolls are also available individually.)

Canada’s Unknown Soldier was selected from among 1,603 unknown Canadian casualties whose graves are located near the battlefields of Vimy Ridge, in France.

Canada’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier contains soil from every province and territory—and some from the original gravesite at the Cabaret-Rouge British Cemetery, near the battlefields of Vimy Ridge, too. The soil was deposited on the casket before the granite sarcophagus was sealed on May 28, 2000, following the nationally televised entombment ceremony.

Designed by Canadian artist Mary-Ann Liu, sculptor of the bronze relief on Canada’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the coin’s reverse commemorates the 25ᵗʰ anniversary of the repatriation of Canada’s Unknown Soldier. The inner core features a street-level view of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in front of the National War Memorial in Ottawa. The base of the granite tomb extends onto the outer ring, which bears the words “CANADA”, a face value of “2 DOLLARS”, the bilingual inscription “TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER LA TOMBE DU SOLDAT INCONNU”, and two maple leaf security features. The silhouettes of four sentries representing all Canadians who serve or have served appear behind the tomb. The inclusion of a poppy, bright red on the colourized coin, completes this poignant expression, honouring sacrifice and national service. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
