Fine Silver Proof Dollar – Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (2000-2025)
A tribute to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, whose resting place is hallowed ground.
In the heart of this nation’s capital lies the final resting place of an unidentified Canadian soldier from the First World War—one of the more than 120,000 Canadian service members who have lost their lives in the cause of peace over the years. Though we do not know his name, the Unknown Soldier represents all fallen Canadians and the many sides of war: tragedy and sacrifice, honour and victory, but above all, unity in our desire for peace and freedom.
Your 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 critical monument that pays tribute to all Canadians who have served their country—including the many who rest unknown.
Remembering when Canada’s Unknown Soldier was brought home.

Interesting Trivia (Sorry, I am a history buff):
Randomly selected from among the many unknown Canadian soldiers buried near Vimy Ridge in France, the Unknown Soldier’s remains were exhumed from the Cabaret-Rouge British Cemetery in the French commune of Souchez. Following a profoundly solemn ceremony at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial on May 25, 2000, the casket containing the remains was flown to Ottawa, where the soldier lay in state for three days in the Hall of Honour on Parliament Hill before being laid to rest in a nationally televised ceremony on May 28.
Since Newfoundland did not join Canada until 1949, the remains of an unknown Newfoundland First World War soldier were repatriated in 2024. This fallen service member was reinterred at the National War Memorial in St. John’s, NL, on July 1—the anniversary of the Newfoundland Regiment’s advance at Beaumont-Hamel during the Battle of the Somme.
