| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a dynamic historical composition depicting explorer Sir Alexander Mackenzie and his companions navigating the Mackenzie River by canoe, evoking the spirit of the 1789 expedition. The scene is rendered in high relief with naturalistic detail, capturing the figures in mid-stroke against an implied riverscape. The bilingual legend arcs across the upper and lower periphery, incorporating both the English and French designations of the waterway. The date 1989 and the denomination DOLLAR appear as integral elements of the reverse legend. The composition was engraved by Sheldon Beveridge and commemorates the bicentennial of Mackenzie's historic exploration. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1989 dollar commemorates the bicentennial of Alexander Mackenzie's 1789 expedition down the river that now bears his name — a journey of roughly 4,000 kilometers from Fort Chipewyan to the Arctic Ocean completed in just 102 days. Mackenzie himself considered it a failure, having sought a route to the Pacific rather than the Arctic, and he dismissed the river in his journals before returning to attempt the correct westward crossing four years later.
Two finish varieties exist for this issue, accounting for the dual Charlton references: a prooflike and a specimen strike, both produced at Ottawa.
