A view of the reverse design, visible on one or both ends of the roll. Each coin included in the Special Wrap Roll has a reverse and obverse design. The production process and quality assurance for uncirculated Special Wrap Rolls allows for either the reverse design on both ends or the reverse design on one end and the obverse on the other. It is not possible to guarantee or foresee which of the two versions will be shipped.
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.
