2025 $20 FINE SILVER COIN
80TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE END OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR IN EUROPE

The final phase of the Second World War in Europe brought the First Canadian Army to the Netherlands (1944-45), where the Canadians fought from town to town, and sometimes, house to house, bringing freedom and relief to Dutch civilians who had endured five years of hardship and occupation. 

The hero’s welcome so poignantly illustrated on this 99.99% pure silver coin captures the joyous liberation celebrations that took place in the spring of 1945. Amid the excitement of the “Sweetest Spring,” a young girl’s gift of a tulip symbolizes a lasting legacy of peace, gratitude and friendship.

➢ A tribute to those who fought and endured. This pure gold coin commemorates the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe (“1945-2025”) by focusing on the Liberation of the Netherlands, which was spearheaded by Canadian troops, and which resulted in a longstanding friendship between the two nations. 
➢  Forged in war and adversity, the remarkable bonds of friendship that exist between Canada and the Netherlands stand strong today, and this coin’s design goes right to the heart of that historic kinship. 
➢ A must-have for any history enthusiast, this 1 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin honours the sacrifices and achievements of Canada’s Second World War veterans, as well as the resilience of the people of the Netherlands.
➢ Only 7,000 coins available worldwide.
➢ Also available: a low-mintage (1,350) ¼ oz. 99.99% pure gold version.
