2018 - $20 - 1 oz. Pure Silver Gold-Plated Coin - First World War Allies: Great Britain

When Great Britain went to war in 1914, so did we. Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa, Canada, Newfoundland, and many more—the dominions and colonies of the British Empire answered the call of duty throughout the four‐year conflict, adding more than two and a half million men to the British armed forces fighting at sea, in the skies, and on land. On your coin, the gold‐plated General Service button is paired with a moving depiction of one hero tending to another: one of the thousands of nurses who risked their lives to care for those who fought at the front.

Your coin salutes the men and women who served in the British armed forces during the First World War.
