Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in a regal pose, surrounded by a stylized depiction of the Canadian landscape, including mountains, trees, and a winding river. The design is the work of Canadian artist and designer, Derek C. W. Waddington, and it was specifically created to commemorate the Queen's visit to Canada in 1999. The coin's design is not only visually striking, but it also serves as a symbol of the strong bond between Canada and the British monarchy.
