Key Features of the 2020 Remembrance Day Silver Coin:
Design of the 2020 $20 Remembrance Day Silver Coin: Crafted by esteemed Canadian artist and engraver, Alex Tirabasso, the reverse of this inward-rounding coin showcases four intricately overlapping flower petals, perfectly mimicking the shape of a genuine poppy. Every petal is meticulously sculpted to mirror the natural curves and softly crinkled texture found in real poppy flowers, creating a lifelike appearance further enriched by an exquisite antique finish. The petals elegantly encircle the central stigma disk, forming a captivating radiating pattern inside the poppy. On the obverse side, the coin-shaped base features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, skillfully designed by Susanna Blunt, accompanied by the engraved legends "CANADA", "2020", and "20 DOLLARS".
Did you know... Since 1921, the poppy has held the prestigious position of Canada's Flower of Remembrance, symbolizing honor and gratitude for those who served during times of conflict.
During the First World War, the bombardments in Flanders disturbed the soil, creating favorable conditions for the Papaver rhoeas, or red poppy, to flourish on the battlefields. This poignant sight inspired the famous poem "In Flanders Fields" written by John McCrae of Guelph, Ontario, in 1915. The poem went on to inspire an international campaign to adopt the poppy as a symbol of remembrance, commemorating the sacrifices made by servicemen and women around the world.
