Description
Since its creation in 1924, the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) has evolved into a storied national institution, one that has played a pivotal role in our nation’s history and in the skies above. Canada’s Air Force stepped onto the world’s stage during the Second World War, and, propelled forward by its members contributions, the RCAF quickly made a name for itself at home and abroad.
Whether participating in air defence, Arctic patrols, NATO training, humanitarian flights, natural disaster relief, peacekeeping operations or search-and-rescue efforts or even providing space power support to the Canadian Armed Forces, Canada’s Air Force continues to defend Canada’s air space, saving lives, helping people at home and abroad, and serving Canada.
The 2024 Fine Silver Proof Dollar proudly honours the RCAF’s history and legacy during its centennial year (“1924 2024”)
Through Canada’s 2024 proof dollar, we look to the skies and commemorate the Royal Canadian Air Force’s 100 years of service, at home and abroad. The RCAF Centennial (1924-2024) is an opportunity to honour the history and heritage of Canada’s Air Force and to recognize its members’ contributions to military and civil aviation, national security and international peace.
