Neil Hamelin, Artist

"It is a profound honour to have been entrusted with the task of designing this coin. My grandparents' firsthand experiences of the Second World War in Europe deeply impacted me, their stories and struggles leaving an indelible mark. With this design, I aimed to encapsulate a poignant moment: a battle-hardened Canadian soldier kneeling before a young child and her mother, graciously accepting a tulip as a token of gratitude. This scene captures the essence of acknowledgment for the sacrifices made by so many.”

Neil Hamelin, Artist

‘’When my father was a little boy, he waved at the Canadian troops during the liberation of his – and my – hometown of Kampen, the Netherlands. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. It is a time to remember and commemorate those brave people, who sacrificed everything. This coin makes such commemoration tangible. The coin, with the beautiful Canadian maple leaf and Dutch tulips, also symbolizes the strong friendship between Canada and the Netherlands. I’m very proud to see the result, the Canadian Mint has done a remarkable job!’’

Mrs. Margriet Vonno, Dutch Ambassador in Ottawa
