2019 Lest We Forget 1 oz Pure Silver with Murano Glass Poppy

A Historic First: The 2019 Murano Glass Remembrance Poppy

Honoring the solemn tradition of Remembrance Day, this 2019 tribute is the Royal Canadian Mint's first-ever coin to feature a Murano glass element. It represents a breathtaking fusion of traditional Canadian minting and world-renowned Italian glasswork.

Individually Hand-Sculpted Glass Artistry

At the center of each coin sits a three-dimensional red Murano glass poppy. Hand-sculpted by master glassmakers in Italy, no two poppies are exactly alike, making every coin a unique piece of art. The vibrant glass rises from the silver surface, surrounded by artist Kerri Weller’s engraved wreath of poppies—a timeless symbol of hope and continuity.

A Solemn Tribute

Struck in 99.99% pure silver with a proof finish, the design features a cross-shaped ribbon with the bilingual promise "LEST WE FORGET / N'OUBLIONS JAMAIS." This $20 legal tender coin is a powerful commemoration of the 117,000 Canadians who gave their lives in service. With a limited mintage of 6,000, it is a premier asset for collectors of historic firsts and military commemoratives.
