2008 (1918-) Canadian $1 Poppy Armistice 90th Anniv Proof Silver Dollar Coin (Limited Edition)
90 Years of Remembrance
It was the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918 when the Allies and Germany reached a ceasefire to end four years of unprecedented horror and destruction in the "war to end all wars."
Roughly three years prior to this historic turning point, a poem written by a Canadian Medical Officer serving in Flanders fields (Belgium) touched the world with its anguish and imagery. The poppy had long been known to flourish in the lime-rich soil of battlefields, but it was John McCrae's poem that transformed it into the symbol of remembrance that Canadians proudly wear every November.
Ninety years after the armistice of the First World War, the humble poppy endures as a powerful symbol to honour our veterans—past, present and future.
A tribute that no collection should be without. This special low-mintage and ultra-high-relief proof silver dollar features a finely sculpted poppy blossom set against a maple leaf with a ribbon of remembrance, and the inscription “1918 ARMISTICE 2008.”
Features
• Design features a poppy blossom against a Canadian maple leaf above a ribbon with the words "Remember/Souvenir."
• HANDCRAFTED ARTISTRY! The poppy has been crafted in ultra-high relief, an exceptional level of sculpting that requires significant hand crafting and polishing. Slight inconsistencies in the quality of the surface are normal for this ultra-high relief process.
• A MINT FIRST! First ever proof dollar struck in the ultra high relief long associated with ancient medallic art.
• Low mintage—only 5,000 coins worldwide!
