A tribute to Canadian sacrifice captured in 99.99% pure silver! Subscribe today!
Battle of Britain
The first coin in your subscription pays tribute to Canada's role in the Battle of Britain with its depiction of a dogfight in the skies above Dover. At the helm of a Hawker Hurricane, a Canadian fighter pilot ascends higher after firing upon a Dornier Do 17Z—the enemy plane has seemingly dropped in altitude as a trail of dark smoke billows up from one of its engines. Well below these fighter planes, the background recreates England's beautiful southeastern coast, where the waters of the English Channel meet the famous White Cliffs of Dover.
British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP)
The second coin in your subscription presents two airmen who have taken to the skies in a de Havilland DH82A Tiger Moth biplane, which was used as a basictrainer for would-be pilots training in Canada during the Second World War. This close view allows the viewer to glimpse the struts and flying wires thatheld the wooden wings in place in their stacked position. This "winterized" version also includes adaptations that were typical of the models produced in Downsview, Ontario, including a sliding cockpit canopy and a tailwheel instead of the usual skid. Here, the two-place, fixed-wing aircraft flies above the communities of southern Ontario, as outlined by the engraved map in the background. Below the two flyers is an overhead view of the No. 1 Elementary Flying Training School (EFTS) in Malton, Ontario, which illustrates the layout of this BCATP training facility and runways.
A poignant commemoration of the contributions made by Canadian pilots during the World Wars! Order your subscription today!
