Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2000 Canadian Osprey 50-cent coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases an osprey in flight, with its wings spread wide and talons outstretched, set against a background of radiating lines that represent the sun. The coin's designer, Robert-Ralph Carmichael, was a renowned Canadian wildlife artist who was known for his detailed and realistic depictions of animals, and his work on this coin is a great example of his skill.
