At the heart of this pure gold collectable coin is a poppy in full colour, a memorial emblem for war, peace, service, and sacrifice. The sight of poppies growing in the battle-scarred fields of Flanders inspired a Canadian to pen a future anthem of remembrance, which forever immortalized the blood-red flower. Each November, on the anniversary of Armistice, Canadians wear the poppy with solemn pride and as a reminder to us of the maelstrom that was the First World War and the countless sacrifices that paved the way for peace.
