2014 Canada $20 50th Anniversary of Peacekeeping in Cyprus (TAX Exempt)

Keeping the Peace.

This eye-catching coin automatically makes one think of all the men and women who have served with the Canadian Forces, but its theme will undoubtedly strike a chord with anyone who feels a sense of pride in Canada's leadership role in the global peacekeeping movement, including historians, political pundits; anyone who stands against violence and supports the peaceful resolution of all conflicts.

Its design provides a privileged glimpse into a United Nations observation post and of the difficult and isolated terrain that often characterizes the world's conflict zones. The soldier standing at the base of the tower conveys the Peacekeeper's need to be constantly at the ready, while the Master Corporal in the foreground highlights the most recognizable component of the Peacekeeper's uniform-the signature blue beret rendered in coloured enamel.
