The Royal Canadian Mint Unveils Commemorative Silver Coin Featuring the Saskatchewan-Based Snowbirds in Celebration of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Marking Its 100th Anniversary
Sep 24, 2024 at 03:01 am
The formal creation of the RCAF on April 1, 1924, equipped Canada with a permanent full-time air force.
The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, and to mark the occasion, the Royal Canadian Mint has unveiled a special commemorative silver coin.
The coin, which is valued at $2, features eight different aircraft that have been used by the RCAF over the past century. These include the Finch Mk. 5, F-86 Sabre, CF-100 Mk. 5, CC-115 Buffalo, CF-188 Hornet, CH-146 Griffon helicopter, and the CT-114 Tutor of Snowbirds fame.
The inner core of the coin features the RCAF roundel above a CC-130 Hercules Model H, which is an air transport that has been in service with the air force for over six decades. The obverse side of the coin features an effigy of His Majesty King Charles III.
“The Royal Canadian Air Force belongs to all Canadians and in our centennial year, we are pleased to partner with the Royal Canadian Mint to showcase some of the aircraft that have contributed to training and security at home and around the world,” Lieutenant General Eric Kenny, Commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force, said in a press release.
“As Canadians go about their day, they will soon carry with them a reminder of the iconic aircraft that have carried our aviators past and present over the last century. Like a new coin, the future of Your Air Force is bright.”
The 431 Air Demonstration Squadron, which is better known as the Snowbirds, was officially activated in 1978. However, the squadron did participate in formation aerobatics as early as 1954.
431 Squadron traces its roots back to 1942 when it took part in bombing and minelaying operations during the Second World War.
The Snowbirds have had a busy year of public displays in celebration of the RCAF’s 100th anniversary, with shows scheduled until October 6.
