2014 Canada $250 75th Anniversary Of WWII Pure Gold Coin (TAX Exempt)

2014 Canada $250 75th. Anniversary of the Declaration of the Second World War Pure Gold Coin (TAX Exempt) 130577

A commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the declaration of the Second World War, and a heartfelt tribute to Canadians who bravely contributed to their country's war effort.

The stunning, life-like reverse design by Canadian artist Silvia Pecota presents a side-profile of a Canadian machine gun regiment during training. Seated on a rocky cliff that affords him a higher vantage point, the private at left steadies a tripod-mounted Vickers machine gun. Standing above him in the centre of the image field, a sergeant directs the private's attention to a target in the distance. The image is a touching tribute to all those who served in the Canadian Army during the Second World War, from 1939-1945.
