Canada: 2018 $20 First World War Allies: Great Britain 1 oz. Fine Silver Gold-Plated Coin

Design: Designed by Canadian artist Pandora Young, your coin depicts a field hospital located near the front during the First World War. While the pointed peaks of medical tents can be seen in the background, the presence of several stretcher‐bearers and other personnel suggest a battle is underway and casualties are arriving from the front lines. Special finishes place the focus on the British nurse in the foreground, whose quick movements reflect a sense of urgency; keeping pace with the stretcher‐bearers, her gaze is fixed on the wounded soldier as she quickly assesses his condition while providing words of comfort. The engraved image is paired with the gold‐plated General Service button. The selectively gold‐plated obverse features the effigy of King George V by Sir E. B. Mackennal.
