2014 Canada Proof Silver Double Dollar Set - 100th Anniv of the Declaration of the First World War

2014 Canada Proof Silver Double Dollar Set - 100th Anniv of Declaration of the First World War 

Designed by Canadian artist Bonnie Ross, your proof silver dollar depicts a couple's emotional farewell at a train station, where the first wave of volunteers is boarding a train bound for the Valcartier camp. Time stands still for this couple as they savour one last embrace before his departure, both of them uncertain of the future that lies ahead. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who answered the call of duty, and their loved ones who remained on the home front.

Special features:
  •  Your proof silver-dollar coin is an exceptional keepsake that expresses your affection and pride for all Canadians who served the cause of freedom.
  •  Your beautifully detailed coin commemorates the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War.
  •  Five finishes! The relief (raised foreground) incorporates the use of five (5) different finishes using a new laser engraving which beautifully accentuate the design. Note the different finishes used on the background, the ground and the top windows on the train, the uniforms of the soldiers and the lower windows on the train, the train, bags and skin of all the people, and the lady's dress and the main soldier's socks.
  •  A tribute to hope, courage and sacrifice to those who helped Canada rise to nationhood through their bravery and resolve.
  •  Hand polished! The field (flat background) has a highly hand polished mirror-like finish.
