2018 $200 Armistice Poppy Fine Gold Coin

This beautiful collector piece gold coin with a centre red poppy commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Armistice of 1918 with a stunning design that reflects on the sacrifices of the First World War.

The sight of poppies growing in the battle-scarred fields of Flanders inspired a Canadian to pen a future anthem of remembrance, which forever immortalized the blood-red flower as a memorial emblem for war, peace, service, and—most of all—sacrifice. Canada's Flower of Remembrance blooms symbolically each November, on the anniversary of Armistice, when Canadians wear the poppy with solemn pride. But the flower will forever be in bloom in this supremely crafted showpiece, whose swirling arrangement reminds us of the maelstrom that was the First World War and the countless sacrifices that paved the way for peace.

When John McCrae wrote the poem "In Flanders Fields" in 1915, few could have imagined that his words would become immortalized as a call to remember the contributions and sacrifices of our fallen soldiers, and a reminder of our debt for the rights and freedoms we enjoy today. While McCrae was a Canadian doctor, soldier and poet, the symbol which he popularized has been adopted around the world as a call for remembrance and peace.
