| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed maritime scene depicting the S.S. Great Eastern at rest in the harbour of Heart's Content, Newfoundland, the site where the first successful transatlantic telegraph cable was landed in 1866. The ship is rendered with fine engraving detail showing its distinctive rigging and hull, while the maritime vignette overlaps a cartographic rendering of the Northern Atlantic Ocean, evoking the historic route of the cable. The legend CANADA and the denomination DOLLAR frame the design along the upper and lower periphery respectively, accompanied by the date 2016 and the engraver's initials YB. |
