Remembrance Day 1 Oz Fine Silver Coin Canada 2026

The 2026 Remembrance Day 1 oz Silver Coin commemorates the 100th anniversary of The Royal Canadian Legion, paying tribute to Canada’s veterans and to a century of preserving the tradition of Remembrance.

At the heart of the design is an early cloth lapel Poppy, inspired by the handcrafted fabric blooms worn in the aftermath of the First World War. Inspired by Canadian John McCrae’s In Flanders Fields, the Poppy evolved from an expression of grief and gratitude into one of Canada’s most recognizable symbols of Remembrance, courage, and sacrifice.

The coin’s reverse recreates a 1920s red cloth Poppy, enhanced with selective colour and set against a field of blooming poppies. The vivid red provides a powerful contrast against the brilliance of 99.99% pure silver, connecting the modern tradition of Remembrance to its earliest origins.

Also featured is The Royal Canadian Legion’s motto, “MEMORIAM EORUM RETINEBIMUS” — “We Will Remember Them.” Incorporated in 1926, the Legion has carried the Poppy tradition forward for generations, making this centennial release a meaningful tribute to its enduring role as Canada’s steward of Remembrance.

Struck in 1 oz of 99.99% pure silver with a mirror-like Proof finish, this commemorative release is limited to only 7,500 coins worldwide.
