• FOUR ALLIES, ONE LAST PUSH: Like Canada, Newfoundland was an independent dominion during the First World War; the second coin in our First World War Allies series highlights the tremendous wartime contributions and sacrifices of Newfoundlanders.
• THE IMAGE OF HEROISM: The scene on the reverse features an outstanding amount of engraved details! Multiple finishes add a sense of depth to a poignant design, which showcases the courageous spirit of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment in the trenches that were a defining experience of the Great War.
• SELECTIVE GOLD PLATING: Like all coins in this limited series, selective gold plating adds a fitting gleam to the regimental insignia of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment.
• FOR KING AND COUNTRY: Selective gold plating also highlights the effigy of King George V; otherwise, the obverse resembles that of all Canadian coins issued during the First World War.
