SPECIAL FEATURES

• Second coin in a new series that honours our everyday heroes for their dedication and service to their community!

• A wonderful addition to your collection, and a heartfelt way to honour the valour and dedication of these men and women in your community.

DESIGN

The reverse design by Canadian artist Ken Ryan uses selective colour over detailed engraving in this snapshot of paramedics in action. Engraved in the background is a rear view of an ambulance, its doors open wide just moments after arriving at a hospital’s ambulance bay. In the foreground, vibrant colour highlights the paramedics in their dark uniforms, complete with bright yellow and silver reflective bands just below the knees. Their faces are intent and convey the pressing nature of their important role; they are quick to unload the yellow-coloured stretcher from the ambulance before rushing toward the building, which will allow the patient to receive the continuum of medical care she desperately needs.
