Designed by Inuit artist Andrew Qappik, the coin highlights some of the diverse wildlife that embodies the spirit of Northern Canada. Land, sea and sky are represented in this Arctic-themed collage, which features the walrus, ptarmigan, polar bear, bowhead whale and narwhal. All are framed by the outline of a maple leaf shape that symbolizes a nation’s pride and reverence for these great northern icons. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
