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.
