The Canadian Navy's motto in morse code surrounds the design!
In 1910, Parliament passed the Naval Service Act to form
Canada’s navy, a fledgling force that came to fruition during
the Second World War when Canada built more than
120 corvettes to guard the North Atlantic.
Sackville was one of the original Flower Class corvettes that
gained recognition for her exemplary service. In 1982, she
was reconverted to her original state and now serves as
The Canadian Naval Memorial to honour the heritage of
the Canadian Navy. She is berthed at the Sackville Landing
Wharf, Lower Water Street in Halifax (Nova Scotia).
Highlights: Silver dollars gained status as collectibles in 1935
when the first silver dollar (Voyageur) was produced. As the
51st issue of the series, this coin is crafted with all the prestige
of one of the Mint’s most enduring series. Its poignant theme
will inspire history buffs and military enthusiasts alike.
Reverse: The HMCS Sackville, the last surviving corvette and
living memorial to the Canadian Navy, its pennant number
(K-181) clearly visible on its hull and its motto (Ready Aye
Ready/Prêt Oui Prêt) in morse code.
