| Reverse description | The reverse design features a reproduction of the 17th century mariner`s astrolabe found near Cobden, Ontario, and popularly associated with French explorer-cartographer Samuel de Champlain. Used to determine latitude, the navigational tool-turned-treasure is cast in silver and bronze plated on this coin; it is backed by an engraved reproduction of Champlain`s hand-drawn map of New France (1632), which is framed by the astrolabe`s graduated scale. |
