Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1984 Canadian circulating commemorative coin featuring Elizabeth II and Jacques Cartier is that it was the first coin in the Canadian coinage system to feature a non-royal person on the obverse (front side) of the coin. This was a significant departure from the traditional design of Canadian coins, which had always featured a member of the British royal family on the obverse. The inclusion of Jacques Cartier on the coin was a nod to the important role he played in Canadian history as a French explorer and navigator who helped to establish French colonies in North America.
