2018 - $1 - 2 oz. Pure Silver $1 Coin - National War Memorial

The fourth coin in this series is based on 1994 proof dollar design featuring the National War Memorial. Titled “The Great Response of Canada,” the Memorial honours the sacrifice made by Canadian service personnel in times of war. It presents 22 bronze figures, representing roles from across Canada's armed services, passing through a great granite arch. Angelic figures symbolizing peace and freedom look down from atop the arch. The Memorial stands on a high granite pedestal. In 2000, the remains of an unknown Canadian soldier recovered from a cemetery near Vimy Ridge in France were interred in a tomb at the foot of the memorial.
