2013 Canadian Devil's Brigade Silver Five Dollar Coin

2013 Canadian Devil's Brigade Silver Five Dollar Coin. Produced by Royal Canadian Mint.

This .999 pure silver coin commemorates the First Special Service Force from World War II. The coin features a star and maple leaf, layered with First Special Service Force shoulder patch that united Canada and the U.S. in joint missions. During World War II, Canada joined forces with the United States to create the First Special Service Force—the first and only time both nations would be seamlessly combined in training, equipment and uniform. Although it was only operational for two years, this elite combat unit demonstrated the power of united national forces against a common foe—and consequently became the forerunner to distinguished Canadian and U.S. units including Canada's Joint-Task-Force 2 and the United States' Navy Seals, Delta Force and Green Berets. 

Coin features a stylized star and maple leaf, layered with the FSSF (First Special Service Force) shoulder patch that united Canada and the U.S. in joint missions. The patch features the names of both nations. Below the central image is an arrowhead shape, interpreted to symbolize the warrior spirit of the FSSF. The reverse also features the name "FIRST SPECIAL SERVICE FORCE" and "PREMIÈRE FORCE DE SERVICE SPÉCIAL," the date "2013" and the face value of "5 DOLLARS." 

Coin comes in a Royal Canadian Mint branded case and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from Royal Canadian Mint. Please see photos for more details.
