Beyond history-themed pictorials and portraits, Canada's philatelic history can also provide a sense of the nation's mindset at a key moment in time. Such is the case with this uniquely shaped reproduction of a vintage stamp, which is forever preserved in 99.99% pure silver. The third (and final) instalment in our limited tribute to philately, your stamp-shaped coin takes a special look at Canada in 1942—a time when a proud nation had dedicated its resources to support an Allied victory in the Second World War.
