Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nunavut Mule coin is that it features a unique design error. The coin was intended to have a polar bear on the reverse side, but due to a mistake in the minting process, some coins were produced with a different animal, known as a "mule" or a "freak" coin. This error has made the Nunavut Mule coin highly sought after by collectors, and it is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
