Your coin’s design is a reproduction of the iconic photograph known as “Wait for Me, Daddy,” which was taken on October 1, 1940, in New Westminster, B.C. by photographer Claude Dettloff. The men of the B.C. Regiment, the Duke of Connaught’s Own Rifles, form an impressive line as they march down the street. But the focus of the image is on the real and touching scene of one family that is saying goodbye. In the centre of the image field, a pale-haired young boy has broken free of his mother’s grasp (at left) to reach out to his uniformed father (at right), who is marching off to war. The father has turned to smile at his son; shifting his rifle to the other hand, he reaches out to his son one last time before they are to be separated by war.
This striking coin commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Second World War, a conflict that had an immediate and long-lasting impact on Canadians.
The coin design inspired by the famous “Wait for Me, Daddy” photograph is a touching tribute to the individual contributions Canadians made to support the war effort at home and abroad.
SELECTIVE COLOUR: Your coin is 99.99% pure silver struck on proof finish with selective colour application.
A thoughtful gift and a remarkable addition to any military or history-themed collection.
