Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2008 Canadian $300 Elizabeth II (Alberta) gold coin is that it has a unique reverse design that features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, created by Canadian artist Susanna Blunt. This design is different from the standard effigy of the Queen that appears on most Canadian coins, and it was specifically created for this commemorative coin to honor the Queen's 50th anniversary as the monarch of Canada.
