Comment
This set commemorates the Canadian Arctic Expedition of 1913-1918.In 1913, an international team of scientists, guides and crew - known as the "Canadian Arctic Expedition" - embarked on a great voyage of discovery to the Canadian High Arctic. Over the next five years, the team worked on previously uncharted aspects of Canada's northern reaches, discovering previously unexplored lands and islands, and bringing back thousands of photographs, artifacts and specimens that gave Canadians a glimpse of life in the Arctic. The team's discoveries not only enabled Canada's northern limits to be determined more precisely, they also made a fundamental contribution to Canada's scientific, social and cultural knowledge of the Arctic and its inhabitants. The expedition helped redefine this region in the Canadian imagination and establish its special place in national life.

Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Canadian Arctic Expedition gold-plated silver coin is that it commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Arctic Expedition, which was a groundbreaking scientific expedition that took place in 1913-1918. The expedition was led by Sir Vilhjalmur Stefansson, and it aimed to explore and map the Canadian Arctic region, as well as to study the local wildlife, geology, and indigenous cultures. The coin's design features a selective gold plating on the polar bear, which is a symbol of the Arctic region and a nod to the expedition's scientific achievements.
