Reverse description At centre, a finely detailed 19th-century steam locomotive with tender is depicted in profile facing left, commemorating the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway's Trans-Canada line. Behind and above the locomotive, a relief map of Canada fills the upper field, evoking the vast geography united by rail. The legend DOLLAR arcs across the upper border, while CANADA curves along the lower periphery, with the date 1981 positioned centrally below the locomotive. A beaded border surrounds the entire reverse design.
