| 背面描述 | A richly coloured commemorative reverse designed by Canadian artist Tony Bianco depicting a solemn scene of remembrance at a soldier's grave in Flanders. Two Canadian soldiers in First World War uniform are shown at a stone grave marker surmounted by a cross: one soldier stands to the left with head bowed and hat removed, while the second kneels on one knee to the right in quiet reflection. The foreground and background are populated with vivid red poppies rendered in colour against finely engraved foliage, evoking the imagery of John McCrae's poem In Flanders Fields. In the background, McCrae's handwritten opening line is inscribed in both English and French: 'In Flanders fields the poppies blow' and 'Au champ d'honneur, les coquelicots.' The reverse legend along the lower rim reads CANADA 50 DOLLARS 1915-2015. |

John McCrae wrote "In Flanders Fields" in May 1915, reportedly in twenty minutes, shortly after presiding over the burial of his friend Lt. Alexis Helmer near Ypres. The poem was published anonymously in Punch that December and became one of the most reproduced English-language poems of the First World War — directly responsible for popularizing the poppy as a symbol of remembrance across Commonwealth nations.
The 2015 issue marks the centenary of the poem's composition. McCrae himself died of pneumonia and meningitis in January 1918, never seeing the Armistice.
