| Additional information |
Canada's Remembrance Day coinage program has run for years, but the 2020 issue carries particular weight given it was struck during a year when public gatherings at cenotaphs across the country were restricted or cancelled outright due to COVID-19 — the first time since the Second World War that November 11th ceremonies were so broadly disrupted.
