Brilliant Uncirculated Silver Dollar Coin Arctic Expedition plus Two Bonus 25-Cent Coins

In 1913, an international crew of scientists, sailors, guides and crewmen—called the Canadian Arctic Expedition (CAE)—set sail on a remarkable voyage of discovery in Canada's High Arctic. During the five years that followed, their work would touch unprecedented facets of Canada's far-flung northern reaches, including previously unknown lands and islands, as well as thousands of photographs, artifacts and specimens that offered Canadians a glimpse of life in the Arctic. Their findings helped better define Canada's northern boundaries and contributed to Canada's scientific, social and cultural knowledge of both the Arctic of the people who inhabit the area.

The design depicts a group of three men aboard a dogsled, the waiting dog team before them listening for the command to move on across the Arctic tundra. The skyline and horizon behind this portrait are filled with a stylized image of a compass.
