This image depicts the reverse side of the 2000 Canadian $20 Transportation Series coin featuring the H.S. Taylor Steam Buggy.

The coin commemorates the H.S. Taylor Steam Buggy, an early automobile built in 1867 by Henry Seth Taylor in Stanstead, Quebec, making it one of Canada's first self-propelled vehicles.

The design shows Taylor driving his steam buggy, with a smaller inset image of the engine's mechanism.

The coin's face value is "20 DOLLARS" and it also bears the inscription "CANADA."

This coin features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Susanna Blunt. The inscription "ELIZABETH II D G REGINA" encircles the portrait, which translates to "Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, Queen".
