| Reverse description | A common loon in dynamic low flight is depicted skimming across the surface of a lake, wings fully extended and bill pointed forward, rendered in fine sculptural detail by Sheldon Beveridge. Rippling water and sparse coniferous treeline appear in the mid-ground to the right, evoking a quintessentially Canadian wilderness setting. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper rim, and DOLLAR along the lower rim, both in raised Latin characters. The commemorative date range 1987-1997, marking the tenth anniversary of the loonie dollar, appears in the upper field below the CANADA legend. A beaded border frames the entire reverse design. |
