2025 Canada $1 Tomb of the Unknown Soldier - 3/4 oz Fine Silver Proof Dollar Coin

2025 Canada $1 Tomb of the Unknown Soldier - 3/4 oz Fine Silver Proof Dollar Coin

A tribute to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, whose resting place is hallowed ground.

In the heart of this nation’s capital lies the final resting place of an unidentified Canadian soldier from the First World War—one of the more than 120,000 Canadian service members who have lost their lives in the cause of peace over the years. Though we do not know his name, the Unknown Soldier represents all fallen Canadians, as well as the many sides of war: tragedy and sacrifice, honour and victory, but above all, unity in our desire for peace and freedom.

Your 2025 Fine Silver Proof Dollar marks the 25ᵗʰ anniversary of the completion of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, Ontario, where the dark granite sarcophagus has served as a focal point of commemoration since 2000. Incorporated into the coin design, the Tomb’s three-tiered granite construction and its sculpted overlay are artfully surrounded by its four base pieces, ultimately forming a more circular interpretation of this important monument that pays tribute to all Canadians who have served their country—including the many who rest unknown.

Remembering when Canada’s Unknown Soldier was brought home.

Features:
