| Reverse description | At center, a highly detailed rendering of the ornate Gothic Revival Throne of the Senate of Canada, set upon a stepped dais with a decorative arched stone wall in the background. The throne is depicted with intricate filigree work, a cushioned seat, and lion's paw feet, faithfully reproducing the historic ceremonial chair used in the Senate Chamber in Ottawa. The bilingual legend arcs around the upper portion of the field, reading 'THRONE OF THE SENATE' to the left and 'LE TRÔNE DU SÉNAT' to the right, with 'CANADA' prominently placed at the top. The denomination 'DOLLAR' appears in the lower exergue in bold capital lettering. A beaded border frames the entire design. |
