Set of 7 x 2026 100th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Legion Silver Coin and Proof Dollars | Royal Canadian Mint

The Royal Canadian Legion: Stewards of Remembrance, pillar of community, service and support, and the Proof Dollar’s theme for 2026.

Incorporated in 1926, The Royal Canadian Legion rose from a variety of independent Veterans’ groups formed after the First World War to become a single, steadfast voice for those who served. A century later, 270,000 members carry that sacred mission with solemn pride, serving all Veterans, including serving military and RCMP members and their families, promoting Remembrance, and serving their communities and country.

Marking the centenary of The Royal Canadian Legion, the 2026 Fine Silver Proof Dollar pays tribute to Canada’s largest Veteran and community service organization—and to a lasting legacy of honouring past sacrifices while inspiring future generations.

A legacy etched in Remembrance.

COIN HIGHLIGHTS

• Marking The Royal Canadian Legion’s centennial. For 100 years, The Royal Canadian Legion has honoured Canada’s Veterans; in 2026, the Fine Silver Proof Dollar honours the Legion and its century of service and Remembrance.
• Honouring Newfoundland and Labrador. Among the poppies is a forget-me-not, the floral symbol of July 1st, also known as Memorial Day, remembering the anniversary of the Battle of Beaumont-Hamel.

PACKAGING

Your Fine Silver Proof Dollar is encapsulated and presented in a black Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.

A VARIETY OF FROSTINGS

Your proof dollar’s reverse features a dynamic mix of frostings that create a more dimensional effect, allowing key design elements to stand out—from the lasered weave pattern to the frosted Legion members, and the Poppy centres that look black depending on your viewing angle.

THOUGHTFUL DETAILS AND SYMBOLISM

In addition to its thought-provoking image of two Legion members standing in Remembrance, the reverse design incorporates the Legion’s maple leaf from its official crest and the iconic Poppy.

POPPY SYMBOLS

The floral arrangement features poppies representing each of the 13 Canadian provinces and territories, and one for the Legion’s international branches. In Canada, the Legion oversees the Poppy’s use as a symbol of Remembrance, and its annual Poppy Campaign raises funds to support Canada’s Veterans and their families.

DID YOU KNOW?

After the First World War, Canada had over 50 Veterans’ groups, each representing different needs and regions, without a unified voice. On November 25, 1925, a National Unity Conference in Winnipeg brought together major groups and associations, leading to the formation of the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League. Officially incorporated on July 17, 1926, by a special Act of Parliament, it became what is now The Royal Canadian Legion (it was granted the “Royal” prefix in 1960), advocating for Veterans, Remembrance, and community support nationwide.
