| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed effigy of King George VI facing left, rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The portrait, engraved by T. H. Paget (initials HP visible at the truncation), depicts the King in a restrained, unadorned style consistent with wartime-era coinage. The circumferential legend reads GEORGIVS VI D : G : REX ET IND : IMP : in raised Latin letters along the upper arc, separated by a beaded border, with the denomination 20 DOLLARS inscribed along the lower arc. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued as part of the RCM's long-running commemorative program marking the centenary of the First World War, this piece focuses on the strategic bombing campaigns conducted by Canadian aircrew — a dimension of the war effort that sat uneasily in public memory for decades. Bomber Command's contribution was controversial enough that a dedicated memorial in London wasn't unveiled until 2012, nearly seventy years after the war's end.
The coin was struck in .9999 fine silver, a purity standard the RCM adopted aggressively in the 2000s to differentiate its bullion and collector output from competitors.
