| General Description | The great Shawnee Chief Tecumseh’s (c.1768-1813) life has fed the imagination of scholars, artists, and poets for 200 years. His death has immortalized him as a legendary Canadian hero, and it is important to remember his objectives: Tecumseh fought heroically out of a desire to build an independent homeland for his people. Tecumseh’s name meant both “shooting star” and “crouching panther” as he was a dynamic leader and warrior. |
| Obv. Description | Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Susanna Blunt (artist) |
| Rev. Description | Tecumseh against an intricately engraved background comprised of the words “The War of 1812” in both English and French. Artist Bonnie Ross used various image sources of Tecumseh to design the ideal image. Also featured in the design is the painted Government of Canada War of 1812 logo composed of a beautiful stylistic 1812 typography. |
