A GREAT CANADIAN COIN GIFT! More available upon request, just ask! This 99.99% pure silver coin honours the brave men who served in No. 2 Construction Battalion and brings to light their often-overlooked contribution in the First World War. Despite racial prejudice, the members of No. 2 Construction Battalion persevered in their determination to serve, and a century later, their legacy remains an inspiration. The 2023 instalment brings to light the often-overlooked story of No. 2 Construction Battalion and its contributions to Canada’s war efforts in the First World War. THE FOCUS IS ON THE HISTORY. To keep the focus on those who persevered in their efforts to serve, and as an expression of a nation’s gratitude for their service and sacrifices, the only word engraved on the coin’s reverse is “CANADA”. Coin #5 in our annual Commemorating Black History series, which celebrates the achievements of Black Canadians and highlights the struggles that are an important part of Canada’s story. This is the first coin to highlight Black military history in Canada and the experiences of Black Canadian soldiers. It’s a timely theme: in July 2022, the Government of Canada issued an apology for the historic racism endured by members of No. Like the 2021 The Black Loyalist coin and 2022’s The Underground Railroad, your 2023 coin features a symbol of Canada on its obverse, where the repeating maple leaf fills the field. Crafted in 99.99% pure silver. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins, including this one, which has a limited mintage of just 5,500 coins worldwide.
