Canada: 2020 25 Cent Connecting Canada 3 Coin Set

Design: Designed by artist Tony Bianco, each reverse design highlights one of Canada's three coasts:

• On the Pacific-themed coin, a salmon-fishing Kermode bear (Ursus americanus kermodei) is paired with the GPS coordinates for Haida Gwaii (53.2500, -132.2500) to represent some of the westernmost portions of Canada's coastline.
• A narwhal (Monodon monoceros) appears in Canada's northern waters on the Arctic-themed coin, which includes the coordinates for the northernmost permanently residential community of Grise Fiord, Nunavut (76.4166, -82.8958).
• The Atlantic-themed coin features the Atlantic puffin (Fratercula arctica) as a symbol of Canada's eastern shores, along with the coordinates for Canada's easternmost point, Cape Spear, N.L. (47.5238, -52.6201).

When viewed together, the three coins complete a geographic portrait of Canada and its red maple leaf emblem. Each obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
