One of the best ways to commemorate Canada’s brave military history is through the help of the Royal Canadian Mint, who have created a coin to display Canada’s brave air force contribution during World War II.
This 1 oz. Pure Silver Coin – Second World War Battlefront: The Bombing War – Mintage: 7,500 ($92.95) is a coin that literally depicts a formation of Canadian Lancaster bombers who have come under fire in Germany. But the coin itself is meant to serve as a physical reminder of the tens of thousands of Canadians in the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Royal Air Force who served in in the country’s largest air commitment overseas.
Another way to celebrate Canada’s rich history and geography is through this 1 oz. Pure Silver Coloured Coin – Glistening North: Arctic Wolf – Mintage: 5,000 ($119.95). The coloured coin features an arctic wolf that is camouflaged within the sparkly winter snow of the Arctic. The sparkling effect of the snow is created by using diamond glitter so that when you turn it in the light, it actually produces a sparkle; almost as though a fresh powder had just fallen on your coin’s surface.
