Reverse
The design on the reverse of the $1 coin, by artist Claire Watson, features a portrait of Elsie MacGill (1905-1980), a pioneer in aeronautics and an advocate of women's rights, as indicated by the pin she wears representing her time as provincial (Ontario) and national president of the Canadian Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs. The sky in the background draws attention to some of the engineer's historic achievements, including the Maple Leaf Trainer II (top) - the first aircraft designed and produced by a woman - and her vital role in the wartime production of Hawker Hurricanes, highlighted on the colorful coin.
