In reply to Rich.

Rich, in 2015 the Royal Canadian Mint issued multiple coins in remembrance of celebrating the 100 Year Anniversary of John McCrae’s poem, “In Flanders Field. Below is a link to the Gatewest(GW) site and page for the multiple coin offerings issued in 2015 in case you were curious to see all the 2015 coins in one place on a single page. Pic is of the colorized “2015 Colorized 5oz ‘100th Anniversary of In Flanders Fields’ Proof $50 Silver Coin 5oz .9999 Fine”.. Link is to the GW 2015 War and Military Commemorative Coins page. PS Over the years the RCM has issued multiple different coins with a colorized “red poppy”.

… “The inclusion of a Poppy on the colourized coin completes this poignant expression, honouring sacrifice and national service.”

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row…

Canada had a War Memorial Dollar in 1994.
