| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse, engraved by Laurie McGaw, depicts a solitary World War I Canadian soldier seen from behind, standing in a bowed, contemplative posture before a military cemetery. To his left rises a large cluster of Flanders poppies in high relief, while to his right a semicircular vignette reveals rows of white memorial crosses amid more poppies beneath a clouded sky. The engraver's initials 'LM' appear at lower left. The bilingual legends 'In Flanders Fields' and 'Au champ d'honneur' arc along the left and right periphery respectively, with 'CANADA' prominent across the upper field and the commemorative dates '1915' and '2015' flanking the soldier at the base. |

John McCrae wrote "In Flanders Fields" in May 1915, reputedly in twenty minutes, sitting on the back of an ambulance near Ypres shortly after the death of his friend Lieutenant Alexis Helmer. The poem was published anonymously in Punch that December and became one of the most reproduced texts of the entire war — instrumental in popularizing the poppy as a symbol of remembrance, first in North America and later internationally.
The Royal Canadian Mint issued this coin in the centenary year of the poem's composition. McCrae himself never saw the armistice; he died of pneumonia and meningitis at Wimereux, France, in January 1918.
