... the defeat of the US military assault on the Canadas is seen as an important stage in the development of a distinct Canadian identity. Note how the 200th Anniversary Royal Canadian Mint silver dollar features a British sergeant, a Voltigeur Canadien, and an Iroquois warrior.

Is there a source for these words ascribed to the 13 year old Jacob Cline?

>>The Americans were in high spirits, and when I said I was Canadian, one of the officers laughed and said, "You’ll soon be under the Yankey government, my boy." I was sassy, like most boys of my age, and I said, "I’m not so sure about that." <<

The image shows a silver coin with a detailed engraving. The coin is a Canada Dollar, as indicated by the text "CANADA DOLLAR" at the top. The years "1812 - 2012" are inscribed above the central scene, marking the bicentennial of the War of 1812. The coin features three figures: a soldier in a tall, feathered hat on the left, a Native American in the center, and another soldier on the right. All three figures are holding rifles, suggesting a historical military context. The background depicts a rugged landscape, possibly representing a battlefield. The coin's edge is beaded, and the overall design is highly detailed, with the figures and landscape rendered in relief.
