Features
A nation's pledge to never forget
Set at a hallowed site of national remembrance, the scene on your coin’s reverse depicts a Veteran involving his grandchild in an act of Remembrance, thereby helping to ensure that the traditions—and the promise to never forget—will be carried forward by each new generation of Canadians.
Selective colour
A selective application of colour highlights the red poppies that symbolize Remembrance. Part of a longstanding tradition, poppies are often placed upon, or at the base of, a cenotaph or memorial as a show of respect after Remembrance Day ceremonies.

The reverse design by Canadian artist Silvia Pecota depicts a powerful moment at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, Ontario. A Veteran lays a red poppy on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where many have already placed theirs as a show of respect. By involving his grandchild, he is helping to ensure that the traditions of Remembrance will be carried forward through the years by each new generation of Canadians. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.
