Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the different phases of the moon, with the New Moon phase being depicted on the coin's obverse (front side). This design was created by Canadian artist Alexandra Lefort and was inspired by the traditional Inuit mythology surrounding the moon and its phases. The coin's reverse (back side) features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which was designed by Canadian artist Susanna Blunt. The coin's unique design and the use of .9999 pure silver make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item for coin enthusiasts and astronomy buffs alike.
