DETAILED DESCRIPTION:

This listing offers a complete original mint roll of 25 × 2018 "Armistice — Red Poppy" commemorative Canadian two-dollar toonies in Brilliant Uncirculated condition — all sourced from the Royal Canadian Mint special wrap roll, untouched and in pristine factory-fresh condition.

Issued to mark the 100th anniversary of the Armistice of November 11, 1918 — the historic ceasefire that ended the First World War — this commemorative toonie is one of the most emotionally resonant and visually striking coins the Royal Canadian Mint has ever produced for circulation. The inner core of the toonie features a bold and vivid red poppy — the universal symbol of remembrance for fallen soldiers, first associated with Canada through Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae's beloved poem "In Flanders Fields," written in 1915 on the battlefields of Belgium. The red poppy against the standard toonie's gold inner core creates a striking and immediately recognizable design that connects every Canadian who holds it to a century of national remembrance.

Canada's contribution to the First World War was profound and defining — over 600,000 Canadians served, more than 66,000 gave their lives, and Canada's battlefield achievements at Vimy Ridge, Passchendaele, and the Hundred Days Offensive helped forge the nation's independent identity on the world stage. This Armistice toonie honours that legacy with a design worthy of the occasion.

The red poppy toonie is among the most sought-after toonies in the modern series — combining a deeply meaningful military commemorative theme with vivid colour application in the iconic bimetallic format. Original mint rolls are increasingly hard to find intact.
