Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1992 Canadian circulating commemorative coin featuring Elizabeth II (British Columbia) is that it was the first time a Canadian coin featured a portrait of the Queen that was not a traditional depiction, but rather a more casual and informal portrait, showcasing her in a relaxed pose and smiling. This unique design was created by Canadian artist Dora de Pedery-Hunt and was a departure from the usual formal portraits of the Queen that had been featured on Canadian coins up until that point.
