| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Canadian artist Caitlin Lindstrom-Milne, features a spiralling asymmetric wreath composition of Remembrance-themed flowers: vivid colour-enhanced red poppies and delicately engraved forget-me-nots arranged in a sweeping motion from right to left. The varying sizes of the poppies create a dynamic, painterly rhythm atypical of traditional symmetrical wreath designs. At the centre of the composition, a banner bears the inscriptions CANADA and 2021, surmounted by a colour-enhanced maple leaf symbolising Canada's gratitude to its military veterans and serving personnel. The coin's coloured elements contrast with the finely milled silver field, lending the piece a striking commemorative character in the Remembrance Day tradition. |

| Additional information |
Canada's "Wreath of Remembrance" series draws on the tradition of the National War Memorial in Ottawa, though the specific design program was developed internally by the RCM as part of their broader commemorative silver portfolio rather than tied to a single historical anniversary. These fine silver one-ounce issues are struck for the collector market and see no meaningful circulation, which keeps surviving examples uniformly pristine — a function of distribution channel, not minting quality.
