The Silver Dollar Design:
1914 marked the beginning of the First World War. The commemorative silver dollar depicts a couple’s emotional farewell at a train station, where the first wave of volunteers is boarding a train bound for the Valcartier camp. The coin is a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who answered the call of duty, and of their loved ones who remained on the home front. The front of the coin features the word “Canada”, and the date 1914-2014, along with the denomination “Dollar”.
