Bring the RCAF Centennial to your collection with a Keepsake Card—now in a NEW format.
As Canada’s Air Force marks its centennial, the $2 100th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force commemorative circulation coin features a design that spans 100 years of RCAF missions, machinery and milestones. Both versions of the $2 coin—colourized and engraved-only—are featured in this Commemorative Collector Keepsake Card, which has been reformatted in 2024 to focus exclusively on the commemorative theme. Faster than sifting through pocket change, this affordably priced two-coin collectible makes it easy to add the theme to your collection, while the colourful packaging makes for fun and easy viewing of these two uncirculated $2 coins that form an engraved salute to the RCAF.
The 2024 Collector Keepsake Card: New look, new lower price.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
- Commemorate the RCAF Centennial. In 2024, Canadians look to the skies to commemorate the Royal Canadian Air Force’s (RCAF) 100 years of service, at home and abroad. The RCAF Centennial is an opportunity to honour the history and heritage of Canada’s Air Force and to recognize its personnel’s national service and contributions to aviation, national security, emergency support and international peace.
- A century of service captured on a coin. On each $2 commemorative circulation coin’s reverse, the RCAF’s first century (1924-2024) is seen through the lens of services its personnel and equipment have brought—and continue to bring—to Canada and the world. The aircraft depicted on the coin represent some of the ones flown by RCAF personnel, past and present.
- An inspiring salute. A great gift or keepsake for RCAF personnel (past and present) and their loved ones; for aviation and history enthusiasts; and for all who are inspired by the RCAF’s important legacy of service.
- Limited supply. A total of 50,000 keepsake cards are available.
PACKAGING
Your two $2 commemorative circulation coins come packaged together in a colourful folder designed for easy handling and viewing (and sharing, too).
DID YOU KNOW?
The RCAF was formed on April 1, 1924, just 15 years after the first powered, controlled, heavier-than-air flight in Canada in 1909—a reminder of how quickly aviation evolved.
One of the RCAF’s predecessors, the Canadian Air Force, was first granted permission to use the (British) Royal Air Force’s Blue Ensign in 1921, and this was extended to the RCAF upon its formation. Since 1946, RCAF aircraft have been marked with a uniquely Canadian roundel design, which is featured on this $2 coin and many other 2024 RCAF Centennial coins.
Designed by Toronto-based illustrator Pui Yan Fong, the coin’s reverse spans 100 years of Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) history, represented by stylized depictions of aircraft flown by RCAF personnel past and present. The inner core features the RCAF roundel above a Model H of the CC-130 Hercules that has been the mainstay of the RCAF transport fleet for over 60 years; the upward angle of the Hercules is a nod to the RCAF motto, Sic itur ad astra (“Such is the pathway to the stars”), while the double dates “1924 2024” commemorate the RCAF Centennial. Eight current and historical RCAF aircraft appear on the outer ring, from top to bottom: the Finch Mk. II, CSR-123 Otter, F-86 Sabre Mk. 6 and CF-100 Canuck Mk. 5 on the left side; and on the right, the CT-114 Tutor, CC-115 Buffalo, CF-188 Hornet and CH-146 Griffon helicopter. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
