An impressive commemorative for this historic occasion.
Remembrance Day, initially known as Armistice Day, marks the anniversary of the armistice on 11 November 1918, which led to the end of World War I.
Remembrance is observed through one minute's silence at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, in honour of those who have died or been wounded in all theatres of war.
2011 was a unique date for Remembrance Day - the sequence of numbers in the date won't be seen again for another century.
The commemorative $5 Uncirculated coin released by the RAM for Remembrance Day features a red poppy prominently on the reverse.
The red poppy gained resonance for being among the first plants to bloom on the battlefields of northern France and Belgium during the Great War. For soldiers, the red petals represented the blood of their fallen comrades.
This is an impressive commemorative coin, one that has stood the test of time in terms of collector appeal, since it was released.
The coin and card remain in as-issued condition.
