2020 Canada Silver Proof Set: 75th Anniv of V-E Day

The end is the beginning: Your proof dollar is the starting point for a historical journey that spans several coins in 2020. It is the story of Canada leading up to V-E Day, of a nation’s contributions and its reaction to the end of the Second World War in Europe.Set Highlights: Contains 7 different coins, each varying in size with a total Silver content in the set of 2 ounces. This set comes in a genuine leather book-style packaging. Obverse: Features the effigy of King George VI by T. H. Paget and a Victory privy mark. Reverse: A selectively Gold-plated “V” for Victory dominates the reverse design by artist Pandora Young. The crowd represents jubilation on the home front on May 8, 1945, a day when Canadians poured into streets and public places to celebrate Victory in Europe (V-E) Day. The spontaneous celebration gradually fades behind the “V” to become a scene of remembrance, with three silhouettes representing the different branches (navy, army and air force) of the Canadian and British Armed Forces in which Canadians and Newfoundlanders served.

That same design also replaces the traditional beaver image on the 5-cent coin—another set exclusive that immerses you in a historic moment.
