    2017 Canada $20 Sacrifice Medal - Canadian Honours Fine Silver Coin

    In war, triumph often comes with sacrifice and loss - a sentiment embodied by the mournful statue "Canada" found at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial. On the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, this fine silver coin re-creates the Sacrifice Medal and pays tribute to the members of the Canadian Armed Forces who, like many who fought at Vimy in 1917, have been wounded by hostile action or have died as a result of their military service.

    Special Features:
    - On the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, the Royal Canadian Mint honours those who were wounded by hostile action or died as a result of their service to their country - both then and now.
    - The FIRST coin in a series that explores the highest honours in Canada's Honours System.
    - Selective colour re-creates the eye-catching red, white and black of the Sacrifice Medal's ribbon, while careful engraving and finishes replicate the medal's design in meticulous detail.
    - This is the first time the Sacrifice Medal has appeared on a coin - especially one crafted in 99.99% fine silver.
    - Whether displayed as part of your collection or presented as a deeply meaningful gift, this coin is a sure conversation-starter about the tremendous personal sacrifices made by members of the Canadian Armed Forces throughout our history.
