2026 Canada 100th Ann. of the Royal Canadian Legion Rose Gold Plated Proof Silver in Square Capsule (No Tax)

2026 Canada 100th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Legion Rose Gold Plated Proof Silver in Square Capsule (No Tax) 

Marking the centenary of The Royal Canadian Legion, the 2026 Fine Silver Proof Dollar pays tribute to Canada’s largest Veteran and community service organization—and to a lasting legacy of honouring sacrifice while inspiring future generations.

In the decades following the Second World War and Korean War, the demographics of Canadian Veterans began to shift. As the population of traditional service members aged, the Legion recognized the need to both honour the legacy of Veterans and ensure the continued vitality of its branches and mission.

The Legion made pivotal decisions to expand membership eligibility beyond Veterans to include serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces, their families, and eventually non-military community members. This inclusive approach responded to both practical needs—such as declining numbers of wartime Veterans—and philosophical ones, reflecting the Legion’s evolving role in Canadian life.

This shift reinforced the Legion’s identity as more than just a Veterans’ club—it became a true community anchor, dedicated to Remembrance, support, and public service. Branches embraced roles in youth programs, housing initiatives, education, and civic events, making membership relevant to a broader cross-section of Canadians. Today, this inclusive model ensures that the Legion remains a living memorial, sustained not only by those who served, but by families, friends, and communities who continue to honour and uphold their legacy.

Commemorating the centenary of The Royal Canadian Legion, the Proof Dollar is enhanced with selective rose gold plating. The reverse design by Canadian artist Steve Hepburn presents two Legion members standing in Remembrance, set against the maple leaf from the Legion’s official crest. In the background, the fabric pattern symbolizes the Legion’s role as a national community service organization, woven into the social fabric of Canada. Arching the bottom, the floral arrangement consists of 14 poppies—one for each Canadian province and territory, and another for the Legion’s international branches. On the right side or east of the floral arrangement, a forget-me-not flower, a symbol of Remembrance in Newfoundland and Labrador. Beneath this, three poppies from the Legion’s official crest, adorn the scroll banner marked with the anniversary dates “1926” and “2026”. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
