2025 Silver Dollar Proof Set Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Building on the foundations laid by Canadian pilots in the First World War, the fledgling RCAF first distinguished itself through its civil air operations, pioneering the use of aircraft for fighting forest fires and contributing to the mapping of Canada. When Canadas Air Force stepped onto the worlds stage during the Second World War, the RCAF quickly made a name for itself at home and abroad, propelled forward by the war and peacetime contributions of its members.

Whether participating in air defense, Arctic patrols, NATO training, humanitarian flights, natural disaster relief, peacekeeping operations or search-and-rescue efforts or even providing space power support to the Canadian Armed Forces, Canadas Air Force continues to defend Canadas air space, saving lives, helping people at home and abroad, and serving Canada.

Set Highlights:

• This seven-piece set features a selectively rose gold-plated version of the 2024 proof dollar containing 3/4 oz of .9999 silver. All seven coins are finely crafted in various weights of 99.99% pure silver.
• Limited mintage of 25,000 sets.
• Your fine silver proof set is presented in Royal Canadian Mint-branded book-style packaging with a removable lens for easy viewing.
• Obverse: The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
• Reverse: Designed by Canadian artist Jason Bouwman, the Royal Canadian Air Forces history and aviation fleet are represented by four significant aircraft (from left to right): the De Havilland DH-82C Tiger Moth symbolizes the RCAFs early years; the McDonnell Douglas CF-188 Hornet represents its fighter fleet; the Lockheed CC-130 Hercules represents its fixed-wing aircraft fleet; and the Boeing Vertol CH-147 Chinook, its helicopter fleet. Three of the aircraft leave a contrail behind that begin to form the RCAF tartan, however, all four aircraft are connected to the Royal Canadian Air Force roundel, with the skyborne maple leaf (center) representing Canadas Air Force. The RCAFs future and its space division are represented by the planets and orbit rings, with the two outermost rings running across the maple leaf to represent the centennial years 1924 and 2024 (and all that has been achieved between these centennial dates); the stars honor the RCAFs current inspirational motto, Sic Itur ad Astra (Such is the pathway to the stars). At the bottom, the flaming parrot tulip (representing Rescue) is one of four tulip bulb types specially selected to commemorate the RCAFs Centennial in gardens across Canada and at the Canadian Tulip Festival in 2024.
