Our objective is to complete the 100 Collection: 100 different coins, celebrating 100 years of the Royal Canadian Air Force, told through precious metals through the production of the absolutely highest levels of minting quality. Below is the catalogue of our work which was unfortunately delayed due to the fact we had to build a coin minting operation from scratch to ensure we could ensure the highest levels of quality and oversee production schedules. This effort has taken 5 years and an 18000 hour of investment of time and assuming a personal debt in excess of $200 000.00 in order to acquire all the tooling we needed and to acquire all the comprehensive and exceedingly in-depth knowledge required in order to fabricate world class work worthy of the Royal Canadian Air Force. As we get operations re-started, we will ensure that our lovely collectors who have exhibited immense patience will receive their coins. As we bring this immense system online, we will be sequentially restarting production on all coins on back order as soon as possible.
When we started this venture, we began with this coin. We didn’t care how much it cost, we wanted what we wanted. After this was fabricated to our exact standards, we were informed that up until this coin, no other coin in history was ever minted up to this level and by extension set the global precedent in high-end quality. This coin will be available for purchase shortly. Please continue to check back periodically to ensure availability.
We have metal provided to us from the Arrow Program which managed an escape from AVRO prior to the being destroyed. With what little we have, we made a tiny run to share with fellow Canadians. The reverse is laser engraved with a Maple Leaf, Canada word mark and collectors have the option to have their last name engraved.
Of course this issue is dedicated to those Canadians who fought and paid the ultimate sacrifice in the Battle of Britain, however we also wanted to dedicate this coin to our now late dear friend and aerospace mentor Robert “Bob” Diemert. He stated that with his Hurricane, he was able to fly faster than the CT-114 Jet used by the Snowbirds and was able to nearly reach supersonic speeds. He pioneered the Warbirds industry with the rebuild of his Hawker Hurricane which was used in the famous film “Battle of Britain”. He will be sorely missed for his contributions to Canadian Aerospace Research. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/famed-aviator-remembered-following-death-1.7087959This coin will be available for purchase shortly.

Of course this issue is dedicated to those Canadians who fought and paid the ultimate sacrifice in the Battle of Britain, however we also wanted to dedicate this coin to the assistant to our aerospace mentor Robert “Bob” Diemert, Chris Ball. Mr. Ball pointed out that we used the wrong variant of Spitfire in the Battle of Britain for our issue. We are exceptionally grateful to him for pointing out our error. He and Bob were a Canadian aerospace tag team and will both be sorely missed. We have since given away these misprints to the friends of Mr. Ball after his passing in his memory. This coin is discontinued and is no longer available.
Mintage: 100.
