2015 is the 100th anniversary of the poem, In Flanders Fields, written by Canadian Doctor Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae. His poem expressed the sadness embodied by the sixty thousand young Canadians who died during WWI.

Canadian artist Laurie McGaw has created a wonderful tribute to McCrae, featuring a side profile of him writing his poem amongst fallen soldiers graves. There are wild poppies at his back and an ambulance in front of him as a reminder of McCrae's medical role with the Canadian brigade.

This coin is a solemn remembrance of those who bravely served their country abroad–lest we forget. A symbolic gift for those in the military, or as a tribute to loved ones lost at war.

ABOUT THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT

The Royal Canadian Mint is known as one of the most reputable mints in the world. The Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint opened in 1908 and was renamed The Royal Canadian Mint in 1931 when control was transferred to the Canadian government. Their high standards for excellence and quality allowed them to be the first refinery to manufacture 9999 fine gold bullion coins in 1982, as well as the first to reach 99999 fine gold purity in 1998.
