We win when we work willingly. Second World War: Battlefront. Seriesends with a special tribute to all. The Canadians and Newfoundlanders who fought on the battlefronts of the world, and to those who supported their efforts from the homefront. Victory requires sacrifices of many kinds, and that’s what this intricately engraved design represents. The bold “V” and the flaming torch from the 1943-45 Victory Nickel are echoes of our past and express a desire to never forget. Completing the maple leaf-shaped arrangement are the geometric forms that represent the different backgrounds (cultural, ethnic, linguistic) of the men and women who served, as well as their contributions to victory 75 years ago. A stunning coin design that commemorates Victory in Europe. An ideal gift for a military historian. From bold lines to low relief, we combined cutting-edge engraving techniques to create a luminous design that is deeply meaningful. Take the coin and tilt it in your hand to see how the engraving plays with light – the effect is striking! EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN. We put a new spin on a classic coin from that era: the 1943-45 Victory nickel designed by Thomas Shingles. Modern elements reflect our current view of the war, with various shapes that represent different people and perspectives. And it all comes together to form the shape of a maple leaf. From its design to its composition, the now-iconic 1943-45 Victory Nickel’s design is a snapshot of the Royal Canadian Mint during the war years. It is our way of paying tribute to those who served and those who supported their efforts. A PRESENT-DAY TIME CAPSULE. Pass the torch to the next generation and share this snapshot of remembrance in 2020. The coin design is the ultimate showcase of today’s cutting-edge engraving techniques. EFFIGY OF KING GEORGE VI. Coins feature the effigy of King George VI by T. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins. Your coin is crafted from one ounce of 99.99% pure silver! Only 7,500 coins will be made available worldwide. Set against a sunburst, the reverse design by Canadian artist Jamie Desrochers offers a modern take on the 1943-45 Victory Nickel designed by Thomas Shingles. The original “V” for Victory and the torch symbol of sacrifice have been updated to represent the new generations who are carrying the torch of remembrance on the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War (“1945″ and “2020”). The two maple leaves from the wartime coin play a larger role in this design, where a large maple leaf in the background subtly unifies the maple leaf-shaped arrangement of geometric shapes. The forms represent different peoples, races, cultures and the varied backgrounds of the men and women who contributed to the Allied victory in 1945. The obverse features the effigy of King George VI by T. Paget and a Victory privy mark. This coin gives you the best our engraving techniques have to offer today. With its symbolic torch, the Victory Nickel is one of our most recognizable commemorative circulation coins. I decided to take its statement literally, and create a legacy of remembrance that can be passed on to the next generation. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A PROBLEM BEFORE GIVING YOUR FEEDBACK.
