RDC 2015 $20 Canadian Home Front - First Submarines During WWI (No Tax) Impaired

Missing outer cardboard sleeve. Small scratch obverse side.

In the summer of 1914, the Royal Canadian Navy was still in its infancy when the looming threat of war sparked fears of an enemy naval threat to Canada's lengthy coastline. The addition of two new submarines to the Royal Canadian Navy's fleet on the West Coast would help the young nation contribute to its own coastal defences as part of the war effort on the home front.
