On July 25, 1814, troops from both sides came face-to-face in an explosive encounter that would bring an end to one last invasion of Upper Canada. The coin’s reverse desgin by Bonnie Ross is inspired by the Battle of Lundy’s Lane. With bayonets fixed and gunfire all around them, advancing American troops (left) engage in a close battle against British troops as they defend the high ground at Lundy’s Lane. SPECIAL FEATURES – A stunning bicentennial commemoration of the Battle of Lundy’s Lane, which was one of the fiercest land battles in the War of 1812 and an important event in Canadian history. Inspired by Charles William Jefferys’ illustration, the reverse image is a detailed depiction of the battle scene – one that is filled with intensity, bravery and tragedy. Certified 99.99% pure silver, this coin is the last of the 1-kilogram coins within the Royal Canadian Mint’s War of 1812 series.
