Surrounding the circle in the outer field are four additional early automobile designs rendered in fine detail, commemorating Canada's pioneering automotive history. The mintmaster's initials JM appear to the left of the central carriage. The legend CANADA 100 DOLLARS is inscribed in two lines along the lower periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1993 Canadian 100-dollar gold series honored Chibougamau-area surveyor George Cheyne Featherstonhaugh, who led a Dominion Land Survey party into the Yukon in 1887 — one of the earliest systematic government surveys of that territory before the Klondike rush made the region internationally known. The choice of obscure survey pioneers for this annual series reflected a deliberate policy at the Royal Canadian Mint to move away from generic commemorative subjects toward figures whose contributions had been largely absorbed into the national infrastructure without public recognition.
At .583 fineness, this issue sits below the .999 standard of bullion coinage — a deliberate collector-market decision that dates the series clearly to its era of production economics.
