AIRCRAFT OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR SERIES: THE SOPWITH TRIPLANE - 2016 , $20 1 oz Fine Silver Coin

Aircraft technology was barely a decade old when the First World War began in 1914, but the needsof warfare quickly fuelled incredible advancements in aviation. This fine silver coin pays tribute tothe aerobatic Sopwith Triplane, and the Canadians who famously piloted it over the Western Frontbetween May and August 1917.

DESIGN

The reverse design by Canadian artist David A. Oram features a detailed, engraved depiction oftwo Sopwith Triplanes flying above the Messines Ridge in June 1917. The use of selective colourrecreates the distinctive appearance of the Black Maria flown by Flt. Lt. Raymond Collishaw ofNanaimo, B.C., while at rear is the engraved depiction of the Black Roger flown by Flt. S. Lt. EllisVair Reid of Belleville, Ont. The Sopwith Triplane’s reputation for exceptional manoeuvrability is ondisplay as the Black Maria completes a sharp turn; this allows for a closer view of the plane’smarkings, wing construction, even its .303-caliber Vickers machine gun atop the fuselage. Theparting of the clouds reveals the tragic devastation of the Ypres area below, where there is little leftof the village of Passchendaele save for the ruins of its church and the road that curves through theblast-scarred fields.

DESIGN

The reverse design by Canadian artist David A. Oram features an engravedrendering of the fateful encounter on May 14, 1917, between a Curtiss H-12 (foreground) and theZeppelin L-22 (background). Heavy cloud cover is evident in the engraved background, where abreak in the clouds reveals the North Sea below. In the foreground, selective colour recreates thelight colours of the H-12 piloted by Flight Sub-Lieutenant (later Air Marshal) Robert Leckie ofToronto, with an attention to detail that is made evident by the inclusion of the identifying number“8666” and the blue, white and red stripes and roundels used by the Royal Naval Air Service. Thedetailed engraving only adds to this, recreating the smooth lines of the H-12’s laminated woodveneer hull and sponsons, all while capturing the finer details on the wings and the twin mountedengines in the interplane gap. With two crewmembers manning the aircraft’s front and mid-shipguns, the H-12 banks away from the L-22 after opening fire. The engraved zeppelin can be seenwith its rear exploding into flames, mere moments before the L-22 becomes the first zeppelin shotdown by a flying boat.
