Designed by Canadian artist Neil Hamelin, your coins reverse is an artistic tribute to Canadas most famous aircraft, the Avro CF-105 Arrow.The gold-plated supersonic interceptor jet appears to be too fast and too powerful to be contained on the reverse, where a unique perspective emphasizes its sleek profile. On the runway, the maple leaf-shaped shadow pays homage to the innovators who designed and built the iconic Arrow, which was, and remains, the pride of Canada.
