2025 FINE SILVER PROOF DOLLAR 
TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER (2000 - 2025)


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

Though we do not know his name, the Unknown Soldier represents all fallen Canadian service members, as well as the many sides of war: tragedy and sacrifice, honour and victory, but above all, unity in our desire for peace and freedom.

From the Royal Canadian Mint, the 2025 Fine Silver Proof Dollar marks the 25th anniversary of the completion of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, Ontario, where the dark granite sarcophagus has served as a focal point of commemoration since 2000. Incorporated into the coin design, the Tomb’s three-tiered granite construction and its sculpted overlay are artfully surrounded by its four base pieces, ultimately forming a more circular interpretation of this important monument that pays tribute to all Canadians who have served their country—including the many who rest unknown.

➢ Paying respects to Canada’s Unknown Soldier. The Fine Silver Proof Dollar features a Remembrance theme in 2025, in honour of the 25th anniversary of the completion of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier—a site of memory and mourning—at the National War Memorial in Ottawa.
➢ One of the first releases of the year, the annual Fine Silver Proof Dollar is the Royal Canadian Mint’s flagship collector coin and one of the most anticipated collectibles.
➢ From the four base corner pieces to the sword-and-helmet overlay, the coin’s reverse re-creates all the key design elements of the Tomb, while the flowers convey deep reverence and respect for this symbol of all sacrifice.
➢ The three Memorial (Silver) Crosses have never been re-created on a coin until now.
➢ Also available: 2025 Fine Silver Proof Set, which contains a selectively goldplated version of this Proof Dollar
