2018 $2 Armistice Special Wrap Roll

On November 11, 1918, the guns finally fell silent as the Armistice agreement finally brought an end to the First World War (1914–1918). This special wrap roll includes 25 high-quality uncirculated examples of a new commemorative coin issued to mark the centennial anniversary. The roll includes a mix of engraved-only and coloured versions of the coin.  

The commemorative design by Canadian artist Laurie McGaw presents a poignant pairing of two symbols of remembrance. Within the brass-plated inner core, a soldier's helmet represents the end of the First World War and serves as a solemn reminder of the many lives lost during history's first mechanized war. Below the helmet lies a large poppy, the official bloom of remembrance inspired by the Canadian poem "In Flanders Fields," and whose bright scarlet colour is re-created on selectively coloured versions of the $2 coin. 

To represent English and French, two more poppies are engraved on the nickel-plated outer ring, which includes a banner bearing the bilingual words "remember" and "souvenir," and the year "2018." The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
