Reverse description
The design on the reverse of the $1 coin, by artist Claire Watson, features a portrait of Elsie MacGill (1905-1980), a pioneer in aeronautics and an advocate of women`s rights, as indicated by the pin she wears representing her time as provincial (Ontario) and national president of the Canadian Federation of Business and Professional Women`s Clubs. The sky in the background draws attention to some of the engineer`s historic achievements, including the Maple Leaf Trainer II (top) - the first aircraft designed and produced by a woman - and her vital role in the wartime production of Hawker Hurricanes, highlighted on the colorful coin.
