The legend CANADA 2015 arcs along the upper field, with the denomination 15 DOLLARS and the engraver's initials JM placed in the lower field. The composition commemorates Canada's contributions to space exploration and the legacy of the Shuttle program. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued the same year the Canadian Space Agency's astronaut Chris Hadfield had already become a household name from his 2013 ISS command, this coin rode a sustained wave of domestic enthusiasm for Canadian space involvement. Canada's contribution to the ISS through the Canadarm2 robotic system gave the Royal Canadian Mint repeated commercial justification for space-themed collector issues throughout the 2010s — this being one of several in a broader series targeting that market.
The .9999 fineness is characteristic of RCM collector output from this period, when the mint was aggressively differentiating its bullion-adjacent products on purity rather than design alone.
