Legenday Canadian artist, Emily Carr, was heavily inspired by her exploration of Canada's Northwest Coast and her encounters with Indigenous peoples living there. Her piece, Totem Forest (1930), is represented in sculptural detail on this collectable fine silver coin.

Carr was born in Victoria, British Columbia, in 1871. She was acknowledged late in life as one of Canada's most important contemporary artists. Her depictions of Pacific Northwest Coast Indigenous villages and artefacts have helped to preserve these cultures' changing ways of life, while her haunting portrayals of the landscape of that region created a new mythos of the Pacific wilderness. Carr was the first West Coast artist to approach the Northwest Coastal people and their artefacts as a serious subject of artistic study.
