Dollar’s reverse presents a circular interpretation of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, Ontario. The three rings allude to the sarcophagus’s three-tiered construction in dark Caledonia granite, as depicted in the centre of the design, while the Tomb’s four base corner pieces—three replicas of the Memorial (Silver) Cross, each bearing the Royal Cypher of a different ruling monarch (George V, George VI, Elizabeth II) since the award’s inception in 1919, plus a replica of a poppy—are artfully positioned around the edge, ultimately forming a more circular interpretation to help frame the top-down view. The Tomb’s bronze overlay is also re-created, with branches of maple and laurel leaves wrapped around a medieval sword and First World War-era helmet; these are surrounded by roses and poppies (in the 11 o’clock position) that have been laid in commemoration of those who selflessly gave their all while serving their country. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block quoteblock col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 \"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"quoteblock__container -silver -quote_small \" id=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"quoteblock__container-content metal-type-before--silver\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"visuallyhidden\"\u003ePandora Young, Artist\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"quoteblock__quote metal-type-element-before--silver metal-type-element-after--silver\"\u003e“I’ve always had a particular interest, or maybe reverence, for artworks created as memorials. To an artist, they represent a task that must be executed flawlessly, as the stakes are so high—creating a locus for all our most sacred and tender feelings, where the lessons and losses must be in balance, and where beauty offers tangible healing to a community. The tomb in Ottawa is an interesting and poignant monument. There is an anachronism in the claymore laid to rest among the maples, as it was not used to fight in the First World War, but the symbol is understood all the same: it signifies protection, wielded by those who rise to ward off that which would harm us, and that is timeless.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"quoteblock__info\"\u003ePandora Young, Artist\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block quoteblock col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 \"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"quoteblock__container -silver -quote_small \" id=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"quoteblock__container-content metal-type-before--silver\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"visuallyhidden\"\u003eDarren Fisher, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"quoteblock__quote metal-type-element-before--silver metal-type-element-after--silver\"\u003e“The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, alongside this coin, stand as a solemn tribute to all Canadians - known and unknown - whether they served in the navy, army, air force or merchant navy, and sacrificed for their country.
