1 Oz Silver Coin 2019 Canada $20 100th Anniversary of the First Non-Stop Transatlantic Flight
On June 14, 1919, a modified First World War Vickers Vimy
bomber lifted off from St. John’s, Newfoundland and flew straight into the
history books. British aviators John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown persevered
through a rough takeoff, equipment failures, fog, ice and snow before
crash-landing the next day in County Galway, Ireland. In doing so, they became
the first aviators to cross the Atlantic Ocean in less than 72 consecutive
hours—a new milestone in aviation history. In 1969, Canada Post issued a
15-cent stamp to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first non-stop
transatlantic flight. Now, 50 years after that special issue—and on the centennial
of this aviation first—the Canadian stamp is forever immortalized on this
stamp-shaped, 99.99% fine silver coin.

Design:
Engraved on your stamp-shaped coin is a color reproduction
of a 1969 Canadian postage stamp, designed by Robert William Bradford and
issued on the 50th anniversary of the first non-stop transatlantic flight. The
original 15-cent stamp features a stylized map of the North Atlantic Ocean
behind the Vickers Vimy bomber piloted by British aviators John Alcock and
Arthur Whitten Brow, who completed their historic flight from St. John’s,
Newfoundland, to Clifden, Ireland, on June 14-15, 1919. Like the original
issue, the design includes the word “CANADA”, the historic flight date “1919”,
and the stamp’s “15”-cent denomination. The obverse features the effigy of Her
Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
