Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2012 Canadian $1 Elizabeth II (4th portrait; 25th Anniversary of the Loonie - Fine Silver) coin is that it has a unique reverse design that features a stylized representation of a common loon, which is a bird species native to Canada. The loon is depicted in a naturalistic habitat, surrounded by ripples and waves, and the design is meant to evoke the idea of the loon's haunting calls echoing across the water. The coin's reverse was designed by Canadian artist and naturalist, Robert Bateman, who is known for his wildlife paintings and sculptures.
