Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the "Pioneering Mapmakers" silver coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases a map of Canada, but with a twist.

This design was created in collaboration with Indigenous communities and aims to recognize and honor the history and cultural heritage of Canada's Indigenous peoples.
