2020 Canada Silver Proof Set with V-E Day 24k Gold Plated Silver Dollar Coin

This set pays tribute too all the servicemen and women who served their country proudly so we could enjoy freedom. It begins with a 2020 V-E-Day proof set together with a V-themed keepsake set.

2020 Fine Silver Proof Set V-E-Day. This 2020 limited-edition proof set continues the tradition presenting the highest-quality coins of each denomination issued in pure silver, plus a special-issue commemorative silver dollar. Denominations include the five-cent re-creation of the 1945 Victory nickel, the 10-cent, the 25-cent, the 50-cent, the loon-style dollar, a VE Day commemorative silver dollar and two-dollar coins.

The three highest denomination coins are further enhanced with a selective overlay of 24-karat gold. This seven-piece set is the only opportunity to own a selectively gold-plated version of the 2020 V-E Day proof dollar. From the big "V" for Victory on the reverse to the privy mark on the obverse, the enhanced proof dollar includes several features that were inspired by the 1945 Victory nickel. The proof silver dollar design features a selectively gold-plated "V" for Victory that dominates the reverse design by artist Pandora Young. The crowd represents jubilation on the home front on May 8, 1945, a day when Canadians poured into streets and public places to celebrate Victory in Europe (V-E) Day.

The spontaneous celebration gradually fades behind the "V" to become a scene of remembrance, with three silhouettes representing the different branches (navy, army and air force) of the Canadian and British Armed Forces in which Canadians and Newfoundlanders served. The obverse features the effigy of King George VI by T.

Paget and a Victory privy mark.
