Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2017 Canadian $20 Silver Coin - Elizabeth II (Arctic Coast) is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases the majestic landscape of Canada's Arctic coast, including icebergs, glaciers, and the Midnight Sun. The design is the work of Canadian artist, Gerald Glover, and it's the first time that the Royal Canadian Mint has featured the Arctic coast on a coin. The coin's obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Susanna Blunt.
