Can I cancel a transaction due to currency mistake?

Hi!

I recently commissioned a friend to draw something for me (services) - however I sent the payment in the wrong currency, resulting in me paying more than the original price.

The payment was supposed to be $20 CAD but I paid in USD, resulting in an overpayment of about £2 GBP (my own currency)

What can I do?

Is there a way to cancel the payment and resend in a different currency?

 

I don't want to report it or file a claim as this could reflect negatively on my friend, where it is not their fault at all.

Thank you for your help!

 

Oh the payment is 'completed' (I sent it about 5 minutes ago)
