Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1971 Canadian circulating commemorative coin featuring Elizabeth II (British Columbia) is that it was the first coin in the Canadian dollar series to feature a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II that was not based on a British design. Instead, the coin's design was created by a Canadian artist, Arnold Machin, and features a unique depiction of the Queen that was specifically created for the Canadian coinage. This departure from traditional British designs was seen as a significant step towards asserting Canadian independence and national identity.
