1 oz 2025 Remembrance Day Colourized Silver Coin | Royal Canadian Mint

Join us in honouring the sacrifice and service of Canadians.

The red poppy carries a deep and powerful meaning that inspires reverence and gratitude—it is the embodiment of our everlasting esteem for those who died in defence of freedom. The 2025 Remembrance Day coin honours them through its reverse design, which features a realistic rendering of poppies—including one bright-red standout—resembling those that inspired the immortal poem of Remembrance, In Flanders Fields, written by Canadian John McCrae 110 years ago.

DID YOU KNOW?

It was John McCrae’s poem In Flanders Fields, written in May 1915 during the First World War, that first inspired the tradition of wearing a poppy, which was adopted as a formal symbol of Remembrance in 1921. McCrae, who was born in Guelph, Ontario, and his iconic poem were honoured on a series of Canadian coins issued in 2015.

The reverse design by artist Lisa Thomson-Khan features an engraved arrangement of three poppies that have been realistically rendered and presented in a loose, organic style. Selective colour highlights the poppy in the foreground, where the flower of Remembrance’s bold red petals and black centre pays homage to those who are foremost in our thoughts each Remembrance Day. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Steven Rosati.
