2013 Canadian $300 Northwest Territories Coat of Arms - 14-karat Gold Coin


The Coat of Arms for the Northwest Territories was granted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1956. It portrays the Territories as they existed before the establishment of Nunavut in 1999 which claimed sixty percent of its land, particularly those regions extending far into the Arctic. Although the Magnetic North Pole is located in Nunavut, the compass rose at the top of this Coat of Arms represents that important navigational pointer with a gold narwhal on each side standing upright on a wreath in red and white, Canada's national colours. The shield beneath the narwhals illustrates the Territories' northern geography. The horizontal section across the top symbolizes the white polar ice cap with a wavy blue line running through its centre to depict the Northwest Passage. The lower portion of the shield is divided diagonally by another wavy line representing the tree line with the boreal forest in the green area below and the northern tundra in the red area above. The gold billets (left) and the arctic fox (right) symbolize the wealth of natural resources that played a major role in the early exploration and development of the Territories and continue to be a significant source of economic prosperity.

The Coat of Arms of the Northwest Territories does not include any royal symbols (i.e. a royal crown), nor does it feature a motto. This is a rare distinction shared only with the Territory Arms of the Yukon.
