The identifying mark of Canada’s Air Force, the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) badge stands for valour and duty, uniting present-day RCAF personnel and their trailblazing predecessors and symbolizing the contributions and sacrifices that have made—and continue to make—the RCAF what it is today. Exclusively available as part of this set, the 2024 Special Edition Silver Proof Dollar is a salute to RCAF personnel past and present. Through its re-creation of the RCAF badge, the coin’s reverse is a visual representation of a century of history and heritage; honouring the service and achievements of not only Canadians, but also people from the Americas, Europe and around the world who have supported and enabled air and space capability in Canada and around the world through their involvement in RCAF operations. Honouring RCAF members who serve and have served.
Double-dated to mark the anniversary
Engraved on the coin’s reverse, the double dates “1924 – 2024” commemorate the RCAF Centennial and its 100 years of service.
Book-style packaging
The Special Edition Proof Dollar is presented in book-style packaging alongside six other Canadian circulation coins—one of every circulation denomination issued in 2024, and all of them minted in a proof finish.
