This ten-ounce fine silver collectable coin commemorates the 100th anniversary of the declaration of the First World War. The final view that tens of thousands of soldiers had after leaving port in the city of Québec was the soaring cliffs of the Gaspe Peninsula, captured in fine detail on this collectable coin. A similar sight awaited those who departed from Halifax; they too would watch Canada’s rugged coastline disappear behind the horizon. The First World War was an international conflict which would set the scene for countless stories of tragedy, courage, and triumph. These helped shape Canada’s international reputation, and would ultimately result in its coming of age as a nation.
