2025 $2 Honouring Canada’s Unknown Soldier

Few symbols are more sacred than the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and none more eloquently express the enduring consequences of war. The Unknown Soldier’s tomb is hallowed ground, and, every November 11, it becomes one of the focal points for our collective remembrance, grief and gratitude for Canada’s service members past, present, and future.

Designed by Mary-Ann Liu, sculptor of the tomb’s bronze relief, the 2025 $2 Honouring Canada’s Unknown Soldier Commemorative Circulation Coin calls all Canadians to remembrance. The 25 coins in each Special Wrap Roll all feature the same view of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, backed by silhouettes of four sentries representing all Canadians who serve or have served, and with a poppy of remembrance.

Marked by the poppy of remembrance.
