The reverse design by Canadian artist Vladyslava Pashchenko features an adaptation of The Royal Canadian Legion royal crest in the core, brought to life in colour on the colourized coin. The Legion’s Latin motto, “MEMORIAM · EORUM · RETINEBIMUS” (meaning “We Will Remember Them”), is set behind silhouettes of a Legion member offering a Poppy flower to a child with their mother. Inscribed along the outer rim are “THE ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION” and “LA LÉGION ROYALE CANADIENNE”, along with “100 YEARS / ANS” and the double dates “1926-2026” reflecting the 100-year anniversary. The Legion’s Poppy logo appears between the two micro-engraved security marks. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.

Includes the Poppy

Two Poppies appear on the coin’s reverse: a Legion member offers one to a child and their mother on the inner core, while the Poppy on the rim is based on the Legion’s logo. In Canada, the Legion championed the Poppy as a symbol of Remembrance and continues to steward its meaning through the annual Poppy Campaign, shaping a national ritual of Remembrance and support.

Founded as The Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League, The Royal Canadian Legion traces its origins back to 1925 and was officially incorporated by a special Act of Parliament on July 17, 1926—making that date the organization’s official anniversary. 




PHOTOS:
Note that the photos I post in my listings are all from my own inventory.  However, for items like this one where the products are brand new from the mint and are identical the photo posted in the listing is a STOCK photo meaning that the photos represent the item you will be getting.  Photos are taken in natural light so sometimes there's a slightly WARMER reddish or brownish tone to the photos.....this is just because they're taken in front of a large window in order to represent them to you as honestly as possible. Normally there is almost no difference between the photo you see in the listing and the actual product you are sent. Certificate numbers (if shown in a photo) are an example of something that will not be the same in the item you receive.
