Royal Canadian Mint Video: 2020 Pure Silver Proof Set And Silver Dollar- 75th Anniversary Of V-E Day

Royal Canadian Mint - Two V-E Day exclusives in one set: This seven-piece set is your only opportunity to own a selectively gold-plated version of the 2020 V-E Day Proof Dollar. From the big "V" for Victory on the reverse to the privy mark on the obverse, the enhanced proof dollar includes several features that were inspired by the 1945 Victory nickel. That same design also replaces the traditional beaver image on the 5-cent coin—another set exclusive that immerses you in a historic moment.

Inspired by the 1945 Victory nickel, a large "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. The obverse features the effigy of King George VI by T. H. Paget and a Victory privy mark.
