Few symbols are more sacred than the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and none more eloquently express the enduring consequences of war. The Unknown Soldier’s tomb is hallowed ground, and, every November 11, it becomes one of the focal points for our collective remembrance, grief and gratitude for Canada’s service members, past, present, and future.

Designed by Mary-Ann Liu, sculptor of the tomb’s bronze relief, the 2025 $2 Honouring Canada’s Unknown Soldier commemorative circulation coin calls all Canadians to remembrance. Two versions of the coin, struck and colourized, are presented in every Commemorative Collector Keepsake Card, as we pay tribute to all who serve, and to the anonymous hero who represents Canada’s fallen.

 Reflect, honour and remember.

Special features

• From the artist who designed the Tomb’s relief sculpture. The coin’s reverse was designed by Mary-Ann Liu, the B.C. artist who sculpted the bronze relief adorning the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a national site of mourning and the focal point of collective remembrance in Canada.
• A 25th anniversary. The $2 Honouring Canada’s Unknown Soldier commemorative circulation coin commemorates the 25th anniversary of the repatriation of Canada’s Unknown Soldier and the completion of the tomb at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. In the spirit of remembrance, the coin design honours those who serve, and those who have fallen.
• Two versions of the $2 coin. Redesigned in 2024 to keep the focus on the commemorative theme, the Commemorative Collector Keepsake Card contains two (2) coins: a struck (engraved only) $2 Honouring Canada’s Unknown Soldier commemorative circulation coin, and another with a red poppy, the flower of remembrance.
• Same font. The words “TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER LA TOMBE DU SOLDAT INCONNU” are engraved in the same font that is etched on the tomb in Ottawa.
• Easy to collect and share. Priced at just $14.95, this is one of our most affordable collectibles in 2025, making it easier for Canadians of all ages to collect, share and join in this act of remembrance.
• Limited supply. A total of 50,000 keepsake cards are available.
