| Reverse description | Dynamic depiction of the bareback bronc riding event central to the Calgary Stampede rodeo tradition, commemorating the centennial of the event. A powerfully muscled bucking horse rears and kicks skyward, sending a dramatic cloud of dust and dirt into the air while a determined cowboy strains to maintain his grip. The composition captures the raw energy and frontier spirit of the rodeo in fine relief. The legend CALGARY STAMPEDE is rendered in a bold Western-style typeface evoking classic rodeo poster typography, with CANADA, the date 2012, and the denomination DOLLAR positioned within the design. The initials SH appear in the field as the engraver's mark. |
