Join us in honouring the sacrifice and service of Canadians.

The red poppy carries a deep and powerful meaning that inspires reverence and gratitude – it is the embodiment of our everlasting esteem for those who died in defence of freedom. The 2025 Remembrance Day coin honours them through its reverse design, which features a realistic rendering of poppies – including one bright-red standout – resembling those that inspired the immortal poem of Remembrance, In Flanders Fields, written by Canadian John McCrae 110 years ago.

Did you know?

It was John McCrae’s poem In Flanders Fields, written in May 1915 during the First World War, that first inspired the tradition of wearing a poppy, which was adopted as a formal symbol of Remembrance in 1921. McCrae, who was born in Guelph, Ontario, and his iconic poem were honoured on a series of Canadian coins issued in 2015.

Behind closed doors

"As the product of men and women who fought and died for our freedoms, Remembrance Day is very meaningful to me and my family. I am the granddaughter of a decorated Second World War veteran pilot who flew an incredible 53 missions and received the Distinguished Flying Cross for outstanding flying under fire, an act of bravery recognized for saving the lives of his eight-man flight crew. I wanted to pay homage to his contributions using the poppy as a symbol of his bravery, and created this design that also conveys beauty and reverence."
