100th anniversary of the Armistice of 11 November 1918 Laurie McGaw
2,000,000 (with applied colour)
1,000,000 (regular issue)
Designed by Canadian artist Laurie McGaw, the coin design features two symbols of remembrance: a soldier's helmet represents the end of the First World War and serves as a reminder of the many lives lost during history's first mechanized war. Below the helmet lies a large poppy, the official bloom of remembrance, whose bright scarlet colour is re-created on the selectively coloured coins.
