1 oz. Pure Silver Coin – A Wreath of Remembrance: Lest We Forget

An item we took from the The Royal Canadian Legion – National Headquarters Facebook page that may be of interest to some members.


On the Poppy’s 100th year as a symbol of Remembrance, the Royal Canadian Mint / Monnaie royale canadienne  is offering this wreath to honour those who have served our country and those who continue to help advance peace around the world.

Theirs is a legacy of great trials and sacrifice, but also of hope and heroism. We will never forget their bravery, and with this wreath of forget-me-nots and red poppies, we gratefully acknowledge their service while honouring the memory of the fallen.

Anniversary of “In Flanders Fields”

Today is the 103rd anniversary of John McCrae writing the poem “In Flander’s Field.”

Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae composed “In Flanders Fields” at the battlefront during the second battle of Ypres in Belgium.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead: Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved: and now we lie
In Flanders fields!
Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you, from failing hands, we throw
The torch: be yours to hold it high
If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields

The Poppy, made famous through John McCrae’s poem “In Flanders Fields” can be traced back to the Napoleonic Wars before being adopted in Canada.
