It was, by all measures, one of the bloodiest battles in military history. More than one million soldiers gave their lives a century ago in northeastern France, as Canadian, British and French Allied forces sought to break the staunch German lines. Led by the Canadian effort, the Allies captured several strategic objectives at Somme and proved their brave soldiers were first-rate. Now you can honour the inspiring bravery and service of the Canadian Corps with the Battle of the Somme Centennial Coin, exclusively from The Bradford Exchange. This genuine legal tender proof-quality Centennial Coin is richly plated in .925 sterling silver.

Offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, the obverse of this sterling silver Centennial Coin features Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth along with the year 2016, as these coins are issued by Tristan da Cunha, approved by Buckingham Palace. The reverse side features an image of Canadian soldiers marching alongside a tank, it includes a sun ray design on the horizon, the anniversary dates and the words "Lest We Forget". Owing to their superb numismatic quality, each Canadian military coin comes sealed in a crystal-clear capsule to protect it. A FREE wooden display box showcases your treasured coin.

Coin measures 3.8 cm in diameter; display box measures 9.5 cm W x 4.8 cm H x 11.7 cm D
