2014 Canada $10 The Mobilisation of our Nation Fine Silver Coin (TAX Exempt) – 129457Â
We stand shoulder to shoulder with Britain… – Prime Minister Robert Borden, August 18, 1914
Designed by Canadian artist Maskull Lasserre, the reverse features a rear view of a Canadian soldier as he embarks on a ship bound for England. The chill of the October air does little to slow our soldier s confident pace, as he makes his way up the roped gangway and onto the steel ship with his equipment and rifle. This unique rear view immerses the viewer in the event, as though he is next in line behind our soldier and is making his way up the same gangway. Many more would board these ships, which would transport the First Canadian Contingent to Plymouth in October 1914.
