"The Silver Dart"
In 1990, Canada launched the Commemorative Aviation 20 Dollar Gold plated Cameo Series to Honor the Canadian aviation History, the Silver Dart coin number 3. The Silver Dart was the fourth and finest of the pioneer machines constructed by Arial Experiment Association (A.E.A) headed by Dr. Alexander Graham Bell. It was first tested in New-York State in December 1908 before being shipped
Baddeck on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia for further flying experiments. On February 23rd, 1909, it first flew over half a mile over a "Bras d'Or Lake", thus achieving the first powered, controlled, heavier-than-air machine flight in Canada.
Shown on the left side of the gold cameo is the portrait of John A.D. McCurdy,  principal designer and pilot of the Silver Dart. Also portrayed in the cameo is F.W. (Casey) Baldwin, the first Canadian to have flown previous prototypes: The Red Wing at Hammondsport, New-York on March 12th 1908 and is own design the White Wing, on May 18th of the same year.
The reverse of the coin, designed by Quebec artist George Velinger, depicts the Silver Dart flying over Bras d'Or Lake on one of its test run. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth I, by Dora de Pédery-Hunt.
