| Reversbeschreibung | Engraved battle scene commemorating the Royal Newfoundland Regiment during the First World War, depicting a surge of soldiers ascending ladders and going over the top of a trench. The composition conveys forward momentum with every figure focused on the advance, none looking back, evoking the renowned fighting spirit of Newfoundland troops on the Western Front. Multiple finishing techniques create depth and contrast within the scene. Selectively gold-plated regimental insignia of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, featuring the iconic woodland caribou facing defiantly forward, is prominently displayed within the design. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Newfoundland never actually issued a $20 coin during George V's reign — or any reign. The denomination is fictional, a modern invention by the Royal Canadian Mint packaging Newfoundland's WWI contribution into a commemorative format that has no historical monetary precedent. Newfoundland did maintain its own coinage series through 1936, but the largest denomination struck was the fifty cents.
By 1918, roughly 12,000 Newfoundlanders had enlisted — from a total population under 250,000 — and the Newfoundland Regiment's near-annihilation at Beaumont-Hamel on July 1, 1916 remains the defining national trauma of that war.
