| Reverse description | The reverse features Robert-Ralph Carmichael's depiction of a common loon (Gavia immer) floating serenely on calm water, with a small forested island bearing coniferous trees rendered in the background. The design commemorates the 30th anniversary of the iconic loon dollar, first introduced in 1987, as indicated by the dual date inscription RRC 1987-2017 beneath the central motif. The word CANADA appears at the upper periphery and DOLLAR at the lower, framing the composition within the eleven-sided format. The refined engraving conveys a naturalistic quality befitting a fine silver collector issue. |
