| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a commemorative scene of the Liberation of the Netherlands in spring 1945, rendered in detailed relief. A column of Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) vehicles advances through a Dutch town street, surrounded by jubilant Dutch civilians offering a hero's welcome to the liberating troops. In the foreground, a young Dutch girl extends a tulip flower toward a kneeling Canadian soldier, symbolising gratitude and peace. The dual dates 1945-2025 appear prominently in the field, marking the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe. The inscriptions CANADA and NH flank the composition. |

| Additional information |
Canada officially declared war on Germany on September 10, 1939 — one week after Britain, a deliberate delay intended to assert independent parliamentary authority rather than automatic imperial obligation. The 80th anniversary of V-E Day falls in May 2025, making this issue timely rather than arbitrary.
The Royal Canadian Mint has produced commemorative silver in this weight and fineness consistently since the 1990s, and the .9999 purity specification distinguishes it from the older .925 sterling series.
