2025 Mixed $2 Honouring Canada's Unknown Soldier Original Roll of 25pcs

2025 Mixed $2 Honouring Canada's Unknown Soldier Original Roll of 25pcs

Few symbols are more sacred than the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and none more eloquently express the enduring consequences of war. The Unknown Soldier’s tomb is hallowed ground, and, every November 11, it becomes one of the focal points for our collective remembrance, grief and gratitude for Canada’s service members past, present, and future. Designed by Mary-Ann Liu, sculptor of the tomb’s bronze relief, the 2025 $2 Honouring Canada’s Unknown Soldier Commemorative Circulation Coin calls all Canadians to remembrance. Each Special Wrap Roll gives you 25 struck coins featuring a view of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier—a symbol of remembrance for our fallen—backed by silhouettes of four sentries representing all Canadians who serve or have served. While this roll comes with a mixture of coloured or engraved, Colonial Acres Coins can not guarantee how many of each coin you will receive in the roll.

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 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.
