2019 PROOF SILVER DOLLAR 2019 PROOF SILVER DOLLAR
75TH ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY

- Our flagship coin. A bestseller since 1937, the annual proof dollar is one of the most sought-after coins issued by the Royal Canadian Mint. The 2019 edition commemorates the 75th anniversary of D-Day (June 6, 1944).

- On the reverse, a simple gesture reminds us of the courage of the Canadians who carried the weight of history with them during the D-Day landings. And in the sky above: the letter V for “Victory” in Morse code.

- A first step. The 2019 Proof Dollar is your first step in a year-long journey of commemoration and remembrance that stretches across several coins. Our young soldier’s story is part of Canada’s story in the $100 14-Karat Gold Coin - 75th Anniversary of The Normandy Campaign: D-Day at Juno Beach and it continues on the $125 Fine Silver Coin - 75th Anniversary of the Normandy Campaign: Operation Tonga.

- “They had trained for months, knowing that 3rd Canadian Infantry Division and 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade would be assault troops on D-Day. But for the vast majority, this was their first battle ever, the first time they experienced enemy fire. And one can only imagine with difficulty the fear—and the hope—they felt as their landing craft approached the far shore”. Dr. Stephen Harris, CD, PhD, Directorate of History and Heritage, Canadian Armed Forces.

**Juno Beach Centre Association’s D-Day anniversary logo : The reverse image shares the same inspiration as the Juno Beach Centre Association’s D-Day anniversary logo; it re-creates a moment caught on film when the North Shore (New Brunswick) Regiment landed on Nan Red Beach (La Rive Plage).

This coin is part of the Proof dollars collection which began in 1971. A coin has been released every year since then.
