The RCAF: Commemorating 100 years of going above and beyond. Order your 2024 proof dollar today.

Since its creation in 1924, the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) has evolved into a storied national institution, one that has played a pivotal role in our nation's history and in the skies above. Building on the foundations laid by Canadian pilots in the First World War, the fledgling RCAF first distinguished itself through its civil air operations, pioneering the use of aircraft for fighting forest fires and contributing to the mapping of Canada. When Canada's Air Force stepped onto the world's stage during the Second World War, the RCAF quickly made a name for itself at home and abroad, propelled forward by the war and peacetime contributions of its members.

Whether participating in air defence, Arctic patrols, NATO training, humanitarian flights, natural disaster relief, peacekeeping operations or search-and-rescue efforts or even providing space power support to the Canadian Armed Forces, Canada's Air Force continues to defend Canada's air space, saving lives, helping people at home and abroad, and serving Canada.

The 2024 Fine Silver Proof Dollar honours the RCAF's history and legacy during its centennial year (1924-2024).

In 2024, we look to the skies and commemorate the RCAF's 100 years of service.

Special features

Commemorate the RCAF Centennial. In 2024, we look to the skies to commemorate the Royal Canadian Air Force's (RCAF) 100 years of service, at home and abroad. The RCAF Centennial is an opportunity to honour the history and heritage of Canada's Air Force and to recognize its members' contributions to military and civil aviation, national security, international peace and their service to Canada.
A new year of collecting takes off. One of the earliest releases, the annual Fine Silver Proof Dollar is our flagship collector coin and one of the year's most anticipated collectibles. In 2024, it marks the start of Canada's year-long commemoration of our national air force's centennial.
A design that tells a story. The collage on your coin's reverse design is the product of a close collaboration between the Royal Canadian Mint, the Royal Canadian Air Force and the artist, Jason Bouwman, who also designed the 2009 Anniversary of Flight in Canada proof dollar.
For the love of the hobby and RCAF history. This fine silver proof dollar is truly a must-have for many collectors, especially aircraft enthusiasts. It also makes a great gift for family and friends who serve or have served in the Royal Canadian Air Force.
Limited mintage. Only 35,000 coins are available to collectors worldwide.
Also available: The 2024 Fine Silver Proof Set features a special, selectively rose gold-plated version of the RCAF Centennial proof dollar.
