Canada 2018 $25 Lest We Forget Helmet Shaped 1.5 oz. Pure Silver Coin
Design: Resembling the 1916 Mark I model worn by Canadian combatants, your combat helmet-shaped coin is the result of a careful collaboration between Royal Canadian Mint engravers and engineers. Your coins unprecedented, extreme curvature allows for a realistic re-creation (on a much smaller scale) of the bowl-shaped headgear issued to Canadian troops and all British Empire forces in 1916. The reverse provides a view of the top of the now-iconic steel helmet, whose battle-worn appearance is the result of engraved cracks and markings beneath the antique finish that gives it all a distressed look. Along the brim that helped protect soldiers from airborne debris, the heartfelt assurance LEST WE FORGET NOUBLIONS JAMAIS is flanked by engraved poppies, while the double dates 1918 and 2018 mark the centennial of Armistice. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt engraved deep in the recessed circular crown, while the legend and face value are engraved on the brim. Composition: 99.99% pure silver. Weight (g): 47.6. Diameter (mm): 52.35. Artist: Susanna Blunt (obverse). Packaging: Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box. PURE SILVER & GOLD COINS GST / HST EXEMPT.
