The year 2013 marked the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Arctic Expedition. The Canadian Arctic Expedition was an important event in the exploration of the Canadian Arctic, helping to map the extent of Canada's Arctic territory. This is the celebration silver coin!

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 landsand islands, as well as thousands of photographs, artifacts and specimens that offered Canadians a glimpse of life in the Arctic.

Designed by Canadian artist Bonnie Ross, the reverse image portrays the Canadian Arctic Expedition. The coin depicts a group of threemen 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.
