One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design by Haida artist Charles Edenshaw, which showcases an argillite chest, a traditional Haida container made from a single piece of argillite, a type of black slate found only on Haida Gwaii. The design is a nod to the rich cultural heritage of the Haida Nation and highlights the artistic traditions of the Indigenous peoples of Canada.
