Copper-nickel with Gold plating & Enamelled PoppiesCopper-nickel with Gold plating & Enamelled Poppies
说明:
正面: Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
背面: 11 – 11 – 11 is enshrined in our heritage as the very moment we remember the bravery of our diggers. The hour, day and month of the Armistice serves as a proud centerpiece to the design. A lone digger stands before the rising sun, still with stalwart determination of his face. The words "WHEN THE GUNS FELL SILENT" is incused on the rim as a reminder of the hush that fell on Europe at this moment. Three poppies, meticulously crafted in red enamel, are soon to become the symbol of remembrance when Lt. John McCrae publishes hi immortal poem, In Flanders Fields, in 1919.
