Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases a stylized representation of the Canadian explorer, Matthew C. Nisbet, who was part of the first Canadian Arctic Expedition in 1913. The design incorporates various symbols and elements that reflect Nisbet's journey, including a compass, a sextant, and a map of the Arctic region.
