Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the "Sucker Moon" coin is that it was designed by Canadian artist Alexandra Lefort and features a unique, futuristic depiction of Queen Elizabeth II, with a sleek, spacesuit-like design and a bold, neon-colored background. The coin's design was inspired by the theme of space exploration and the 25th anniversary of the Canadarm, a robotic arm used in space missions. The coin's unique design and limited mintage have made it a popular collector's item among coin enthusiasts.
