Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that celebrates National Indigenous Peoples Day in Canada. The coin's colored center depicts an Inuit person, a First Nations person, and a Métis person, surrounded by a wreath of medicine wheels, which symbolize the interconnectedness of life and the balance between physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual aspects. The design is meant to represent the diversity and richness of Indigenous cultures in Canada and to honor the history and contributions of Indigenous peoples.
