Royal Canadian Mint - Engraved on the stamp-shaped reverse is a detailed reproduction of a Canadian postage stamp issued on July 16, 1908, to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the founding of Quebec City by French explorer and navigator, Samuel de Champlain. The stamp was titled "ARRIVeE DE CARTIER - QUeBEC 1535" (Arrival of Cartier - Quebec 1535), as inscribed beneath the image. It was designed by Jose Antonio Machado and originally engraved by Elie Timothee Loizeaux, as evidenced by the horizontal lines that are indicative of traditional intaglio printing or line engraving. The image depicts the arrival of Champlain's predecessor, French explorer Jacques Cartier, in the St. Lawrence River near the Iroquoian village of Stadacona. An application of modern colour mimics the brown colour of the original issue, while the double dates "1608" and "1908" and the words "IIIE CENTENAIRE DE QUeBEC" reflect the city's tercentenary. Like the 1908 stamp, your coin also includes ornamental flourishes and the words "CANADA POSTAGE" atop the framed image, while the stamp's original denomination is represented by the number "20". The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
