2019 Five-Ounce Fine Silver Poppy Coin

When John McCrae wrote the poem "In Flanders Fields" in 1915, few could have imagined that his words would become immortalized as a call to remember the contributions and sacrifices of our fallen soldiers, and a reminder of our debt for the rights and freedoms we enjoy today. While McCrae was a Canadian doctor, soldier and poet, the symbol which he popularized has been adopted around the world as a call for remembrance and peace. This unique five-ounce fine-silver coin continues to spread McCrae's message as we mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War and the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.

The coin features a translucent glass centre, illuminated from behind to shine light through the colourful poppy centre. The coin is presented in a high-quality round wood finish case with a built-in light. Mintage is limited to just 500 pieces worldwide. The coin has a face value of $10 in Solomon Islands.

The reverse of the coin is a magnificently detailed image of a poppy. On the top of the coin is the inscription "We will remember them." The obverse of the coin portrays the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the inscriptions: "Elizabeth II," "Solomon Islands," "2019," "10 dollars," "5 oz," and "Ag .999."
