| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vivid colorized depiction of a Common Loon (Gavia immer) swimming serenely upon the calm waters of an Ontario lake, rendered in full naturalistic color with meticulous detail to the bird's distinctive black-and-white plumage and ruby-red eye. The surrounding water and landscape are suggested through subtle color gradients, evoking the tranquil wilderness setting characteristic of the species' habitat. The legend CANADA arcs across the upper field, while the commemorative date range 1867 - 2017 appears in the lower portion of the design, marking the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation. The composition is executed in fine .9999 silver with the colorized central motif applied as a finishing technique over the matte proof surface. |
