2018 - $20 - 1 oz. Pure Silver Coin - The Dieppe Raid

They are the brave; the heroic; the everyday Canadians who, over the course of nine terrible hours of fighting, would prove a nation's mettle under a relentless hail of enemy fire. We remember the Dieppe Raid as an example of the bravery and steadfastness of Canadians, even on our darkest day of the war, when nearly 5,000 of our airmen, sailors, and soldiers took part in the raid on the occupied French port—but only 2,200 returned. The poignant design of your pure silver coin reflects on the legacy of that fateful day in 1942. It is a heartfelt thank you to the veterans of the Dieppe Raid for their heroism, service and sacrifices, and a haunting tribute to the spirit of all our combatants who fought at Puys, Pourville, and on Dieppe's pebble beach.
