Canada's Military Peace Commemorative Coins

Canadian 2004 Commemorative Quarter Remembrance Day In 2004, the Royal Canadian Mint became a trailblazer in the minting industry when it introduced the world’s first coloured circulation coin. The 25-cent coin was produced at the Mint’s Winnipeg plant using a high-speed, computer controlled and precision inkjet process. The coin featured a brilliant red poppy, the symbol of remembrance that pays homage to the brave Canadian men and women who gave their lives in service to this nation, as well as the many veterans who helped to secure our freedom. At the Mint Directors’ Conference in Paris, France, the 2004 coloured poppy coin was named the Most Innovative Circulation Coin. 1994 Loonie In 1994 the Royal Canadian Mint minted a special dollar called the Remembrance dollar. It pays tribute to Canadians who died in war. This loon dollar has on its reverse the War Memorial monument that is in Ottawa. The obverse has the crowned effigy of the Queen. It is 7 grams and 26.5 mm in diameter. 1995 Peacekeeping Dollar This Royal Canadian Mint issued commemorative dollar marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations and depicts a portion of the Peacekeeping Monument in Ottawa, Ontario. The monument is a symbol of national pride and a timeless reminder of Canada's commitment to world peace. 2008 Armistice Quarter 2010 WW2 Quarter 2014 Twonie - Wait for me Daddy 2016- Twonie-Battle of the Atlantic All of these were collected out of circulation by our Mother.
