Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1980 Canadian $100 Gold Coin (Kayak) is that it features a unique design that showcases Queen Elizabeth II in a kayak, paddling through the waters of the Canadian wilderness. This design was created by Canadian artist Robert-Ralph Carmichael and was the first time that the Queen had been depicted in such a way on a coin. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the Queen's role as the head of the Commonwealth and her connection to the natural beauty of Canada.
