Effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to right. ELIZABETH II D.G. REGINA, 20 DOLLARS

Description reverse

The reverse depicts a scene from a widely known legend from Inuit Nunangat (“ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᓄᓇᖓᑦ”). It is the story of the Sea Goddess, also known as Nuliajuk; tossed into the ocean, the long-haired Inuk becomes half-woman and half-fish as she slips deeper beneath the waves, while her fingers take the form of seals that represent all marine mammals.
