CCFPress Press Manager United States 1420 Posts	Posted 12/01/2015 11:41 am Royal Canadian Mint - In defense of Canada: Patrol Against U-boats! Final coin in the Canadian Home Front four-coin series. During the Second World War, Canada played an important role in protecting convoys from the U-boat threat that lurked in the Atlantic; but in 1942, the U-boat intrusion into Canadian waters suddenly transformed them into an additional theater of war. This fine silver coin commemorates Canada's coastal and convoy defenses during the Battle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, which brought the war to the home front and within sight of our shores. 1 oz.

Fixguy Pillar of the Community Canada 532 Posts	Posted 03/06/2016 09:19 am The only critique I will offer is that the "C" in Canada and the 6 are difficult to see due to the layout. It seems hurried to me. Report this Post to the Staff
