Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2016 Canadian $20 Arctic Char silver coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases the Arctic Char, a fish species native to the Canadian Arctic, swimming in the icy waters of the Arctic Ocean. The coin's design also includes a stylized representation of the aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, which can be seen in the night sky of the Arctic region. This design not only highlights the natural beauty of the Arctic but also symbolizes the resilience and adaptability of the Arctic Char, which can survive in the harsh conditions of the frozen tundra.
