Within the brass-plated inner core, a soldier’s helmet represents the end of the First World War and serves as a solemn reminder of the many lives lost during history’s first mechanized war. Below the helmet lies a large poppy, the official bloom of remembrance, whose bright scarlet colour is re-created on these selectively coloured coins. Two more poppies are engraved on the nickel-plated outer ring, which includes a special-engraved security feature, along with a banner bearing the bilingual words “REMEMBER”, “SOUVENIR” and the year “2018”. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 100%\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 100%\"\u003e2018 Canadian $2 Armistice 100th Anniv Remembrance Coloured Poppy Toonie Coin (Brilliant Uncirculated) originates from an uncirclated coin roll in original condition.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Mastercoins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52520122220863,"sku":"1443","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/5431\/0463\/files\/2018-canadian-2-armistice-100th-anniv-remembrance-coloured-poppy-toonie-coin-unc-ex-mint-roll-4094483.webp?v=1775964562","url":"https:\/\/www.mastercoins.com.au\/products\/2018-canadian-2-armistice-100th-anniv-remembrance-coloured-poppy-toonie-coin-unc-ex-mint-roll","provider":"Mastercoins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
