Nothing could be more valiant than risking your life to save another. This fine silver collectable coin highlights the Cross of Valour, national symbol of courage, in full colour. Since 1972, the Cross of Valour signifies a nation's recognition of an act of outstanding courage and awarded to those who have shown "most conspicuous courage in circumstances of extreme peril." Anyone may nominate an individual who risked his or her life to save another: the rescuer doesn't have to be Canadian, nor does the incident have to take place in Canada, although it must involve Canadians (or at least, Canadian interests).
All collectable coins have been previously owned. Conditions will vary.
