| Reverse description | The reverse, engraved by Susan Taylor, presents a richly detailed composition commemorating the 325th anniversary of the Hudson's Bay Company. In the foreground, two overlapping portrait busts — a fur-clad trapper in the lower left and a hatted explorer or trader behind — dominate the left portion of the field. To the right, a period sailing vessel, rendered in fine detail with full sails and flags, navigates open water, with a fortified settlement and wooded shoreline visible in the background. The designer's initials appear in the left field. The legend CANADA DOLLAR arcs along the lower periphery, with the date 1995 positioned above it toward the center-right. |
