Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Quebec Conferences, which were a series of meetings held in Quebec City, Canada, in 1943 and 1944, where Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt discussed the Allied strategy during World War II. The coin features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of the Mackenzie King, the Prime Minister of Canada during the time of the conferences, on the other side.
