The largest all-black battalion-sized unit in Canadian military history is honored with the 2023 Fine Silver Commemorating Black History: No. 2 Construction Battalion Coin. This 1 oz silver coin features a detailed engraving of a group that persevered in the face of racism and risked their lives to protect the rights of their country during the First World War. The design shows the men standing and marching in their uniform with pride as they assisted the Canadian Forestry Corps in France. Their badge is engraved beside them, and the word “CANADA” arches above.
With a composition of 99.99% fine silver and a face value of $20, you can take comfort in knowing that your coin comes nested in an elegant box to keep its quality protected. This coin is produced by the Royal Canadian Mint with a limited mintage of just 5,500 coins available worldwide.
