HMCS Haida Commemorative Coin
The HAIDA commemorative coin represents HAIDA'S
two commissions - her WW2 commission and her post-war
commission. The front of the coin has her name and two
pennant/pendant numbers, her unofficial wartime badge and the
accolade "Canada's Fightingest Ship", given to her due to
her large number of WW2 surface actions. The back of the coin
has the unofficial motto of the RCN as HAIDA did not have a
ship's motto, her post wartime badge, an image of the ship and her
period of service from the start of her first commission till the
end of her second.
