| Reverse description | The celebrated Voyageur design by Emanuel Otto Hahn depicts a fur trader and an Indigenous companion paddling a birchbark canoe across a body of water, with a bundle bearing the initials 'HB' (Hudson's Bay Company) visible among the cargo. A conifer-lined shoreline and a setting sun occupy the background, with horizontal water lines rendered beneath the canoe. The denomination DOLLAR appears in the upper field and CANADA arcs along the upper periphery, while the date is positioned to the left and the designer's initials 'EOH' appear to the lower right. |
