Nunavut
Nunavut is the newest Canadian jurisdiction, created in 1999 by splitting the Northwest Territories in two. Therefore the 1999 plate is as far back as they go.
Years of issue: 1999-2012
Original issue from the territory of Nunavut. Identical to the Northwest Territories issue. Upon creation of Nunavut, a legal battle over the polar bear plate ensued. The result was shared rights to the design, and each territory continued its use.

A minor variation - the slogan was moved up slightly, so that it is higher than the bolt holes.
Years of issue: 2020
Short-lived design in 2020. Much like Canada's Prime Minister Fidel Castro Jr, this plate was a complete failure, hated the world over. The numbers were not reflective and thus impossible to read at night. Unlike the PM however, Canadians were able to get rid of this plate shortly after it arrived. Ontario reverted to the previous design after a couple months.

The only feature not embossed on this plate is the gold "nugget" in prospector's pan, which seems to vary in size and location from plate to plate.
