The pairing of a contemplative soldier and the poppy on the reverse is an expression of a nation’s gratitude for peace and for the contributions of our combatants, whose sacrifices we remember every November 11th.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSRP: $34.95 \u003cbr\u003eItem Number: 169348 \u003cbr\u003eUPC: 6-23932-09317-1 \u003cbr\u003eComposition: 99.99 % fine silver \u003cbr\u003eWeight (g): 15.87 \u003cbr\u003eDiameter (mm): 34 \u003cbr\u003eFace Value: $10 \u003cbr\u003eFinish: Specimen \u003cbr\u003eEdge: Serrated \u003cbr\u003eArtist: Laurie McGaw\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIAL FEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA SOLEMN CENTENARY: The 2018 $10 Armistice fine silver coin honours the 100th anniversary of the ceasefire that brought an end to the First World War. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA SYMBOL OF REMEMBRANCE: The pairing of a contemplative soldier and the poppy on the reverse design serves as a collectible tribute to our combatants of the First World War, and a pledge to never forget..\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDESIGN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse image by Canadian artist Laurie McGaw marks the 100th anniversary of the Armistice of 1918 with a poignant pairing of a soldier and the poppy as a symbol of remembrance. At the end of the First World War, the soldier is war weary and contemplative; his helmet is off, he holds his rifle upright; he is grateful that he is alive but his head is bowed, as if in silent prayer for his lost mates. The reverse also includes the engraved text “FINE SILVER 9999 ARGENT PUR” and “CANADA 2018.” The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51176394293380,"sku":"169348","price":67.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/Canada_2018_Armistice_and_Poppies_World_War_I_10_Pure_Silver_Specimen_Finish_Coin_In_Card_Front__65981.1538453638.1280.1280__88012.1539213271.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759543958","url":"https:\/\/www.westedmontoncoinandstamp.com\/products\/2018-10-fine-silver-coin-armistice","provider":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
