\n
A century after The Royal Canadian Legion was incorporated, the Royal Canadian Mint is marking the milestone with new gold and silver collectibles honoring the organization\u2019s 100th anniversary. The centennial-themed lineup includes a 2026 $100 gold coin, a 2026 silver dollar, and a 2026 Silver Proof Set.<\/p>\nRoyal Canadian Mint 2026 Legion Centennial Coins<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The reverse of the 2026 $100 gold coin, designed by Canadian artist Laurie McGaw, presents a split composition intended to reflect the Legion\u2019s past, present, and future. One side features two contemporary Legion members in dress uniform, while the other draws on First World War-era imagery, including a Canadian infantryman, an S.E.5a fighter aircraft, and the silhouette of HMCS Niobe, a vessel tied to the early years of Canada\u2019s naval service. Poppies appear above and below the scenes, bridging both halves of the design and reinforcing the theme of ongoing Remembrance.<\/p>\n
For the proof 2026 silver dollar, Canadian artist Steve Hepburn created a reverse showing two Legion members standing in Remembrance before a maple leaf element taken from the Legion\u2019s official crest. Below, the design incorporates 14 poppies representing Canada\u2019s provinces and territories, along with the Legion\u2019s international branches, and adds a forget-me-not flower \u2014 a symbol of Remembrance in Newfoundland and Labrador. A banner bearing the dates “1926” and “2026” overlays the floral arrangement, with three crest poppies centered within the ribbon.<\/p>\n
The 2026 Silver Proof Set includes a selectively rose gold-plated version of the silver dollar.<\/p>\nRoyal Canadian Mint image of its 2026 Fine Silver Proof Set<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
