10 oz. Fine Silver Coin 100th Anniversary of In Flanders Fields Mintage: 500 (2015)
I purchased this coin today- Admittedly quite pricey, but I really like the design and that it is low mintage for an RCM product (The most recent/? first ever RCM 10oz coin (Einstein) had a mintage of 1,500) , but also since I grew up on McCrae Street (the namesake of the poem writer) in my hometown.
Cheers,
Luker
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
- In Flanders Fields, John McCrae (1872-1918)
