| Reverse description | Central depiction of the paddle steamer S.S. Frontenac under sail and steam power, shown in broadside view traversing open water with billowing smoke issuing from her funnel and flags flying from her masts. In the foreground, a rocky shoreline with trees frames two figures — one standing and one seated — observing the vessel, evoking a sense of historical witness to the ship's passage. The inscription 1816 FRONTENAC 1991 appears in the lower central field, recording the vessel's launch year and the commemorative anniversary, with CANADA 1991 DOLLAR arching along the lower periphery. The composition, engraved by Sheldon Beveridge, celebrates the 175th anniversary of the launching of the Frontenac, one of the first steamships to operate on the Great Lakes. |
