End of WWI Centenary Commemoration
Historic 24-carat gold-layered coin pays tribute to those who served
2018 marked the centenary of the conclusion of the First World War, the “war to end all wars”. There are generations alive who have no direct knowledge of this conflict or of the sacrifice made by all who fought for their country. Our debt to them is immeasurable making it more important than ever that we remember their courage with a lasting commemoration. To ensure their sacrifice is not forgotten, a very special crown coin has been released: The “Centenary of the End of World War Golden Crown.”
Fully layered with pure 24-carat gold, this collector’s edition coin will shine as an enduring symbol of the immense pride we feel for those who served our country and endured great hardship. The design honours the fallen with a moving, raisedrelief portrait of a digger remembering his mate, set against a backdrop of the rising sun. In the foreground, a field of poppies, the symbol of remembrance, are created in hand-applied red enamel, providing a vibrant contrast to the pure, 24-carat gold. It creates a touching counterpoint to the hallowed words “Lest We Forget” from Laurence Binyon’s poem FortheFallen which forms the OdeofRemembrance. Poppies, crafted in vibrant enamel, have been inspired by John McCrae’s moving poem InFlandersFields, symbolising our eternal respect and remembrance of our fallen heroes.
Struck to a high specification and layered in pure 24-carat gold, only 19,999 numbered issues will ever be minted. It is available now for only $39.99 – a saving of $50.00 – plus $9.99 postage and handling. Due to the extreme limitation, only the earliest responders will successfully secure this proof coin honouring our World War I heroes. A Certificate of Authenticity detailing important provenance information pertaining to the coin will be issued with the coin. Peak collector interest is all but assured for this commemoration to those who served and with it the potential of a swift, early sell out of the “Centenary of the End of World War Golden Crown.”
