Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1992 Canadian Confederation 50-cent coin is that it features a cameo appearance by a well-known Canadian animal, the common loon, on the reverse side of the coin. The loon is depicted in a natural setting, surrounded by water lilies, and is meant to represent the natural beauty and wildlife of Canada. This design was chosen to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Confederation of Canada.
