Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Duncan Incident, a significant event in Canadian history. In 1823, a group of Scottish settlers, led by William Duncan, established a settlement in the Red River Valley, which is now part of Manitoba. The coin's design features an image of a beaver, which is a symbol of Canada, and the inscription "Duncan Incident - 200th Anniversary" in both English and French. This coin serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Canada.
