2013 Canada $4 Heroes of the War of 1812 - Laura Secord (No Tax)

The War of 1812 was a fundamental turning point in Canada's development as a nation; the stories and the heroes that arose from it have become enduring elements of the Canadian story.

The reverse image by Canadian artist Bonnie Ross features, in the foreground, a three-quarter profile portrait of Laura Secord set against an intricately engraved background comprised of the bilingual text 'The War of 1812/La guerre de 1812.'

This background is horizontally bisected by a polished silver band featuring the embossed word 'Secord' in cursive lettering. Beneath this band is the engraved and painted Government of Canada War of 1812 logo composed of the date '1812' in stylized script laid over a red stylized maple leaf with ecru swords crossing behind it. The reverse is also embossed with the face value of '4 DOLLARS.' The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
