As Canada’s Air Force marks its centennial, the $2 100th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force commemorative circulation coin features a design that spans 100 years of RCAF missions, machinery and milestones. Both versions of the $2 coin—colourized and engraved-only—are featured in this Commemorative Collector Keepsake Card, which has been reformatted in 2024 to focus exclusively on the commemorative theme. Faster than sifting through pocket change, this affordably priced two-coin collectible makes it easy to add the theme to your collection, while the colourful packaging makes for fun and easy viewing of these two uncirculated $2 coins that form an engraved salute to the RCAF.
The Design: New look, new lower price. Priced at just $14.95, this is one of the most affordable collectibles issued by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2024.
The smaller format means a price drop, too. At just $14.95, this is one of our most affordable collectibles in 2024, making it easier for collectors and RCAF fans of all ages to join in the RCAF Centennial commemoration.
DID YOU KNOW?
The RCAF was formed on April 1, 1924, just 15 years after the first powered, controlled, heavier-than-air flight in Canada in 1909—a reminder of how quickly aviation evolved.
One of the RCAF’s predecessors, the Canadian Air Force, was first granted permission to use the (British) Royal Air Force’s Blue Ensign in 1921, and this was extended to the RCAF upon its formation. Since 1946, RCAF aircraft have been marked with a uniquely Canadian roundel design, which is featured on this $2 coin and many other 2024 RCAF Centennial coins.
