Interesting fact
The coin features a unique design that showcases a maple leaf, which is a symbol of Canada, where Jacques Cartier explored and settled during his voyages in the 16th century. The maple leaf is depicted in a stylized form, with each branch of the leaf extending outward from the center of the coin. This design element serves as a nod to Cartier's contributions to the history of Canada and his role in shaping the country's identity.
