| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dynamic, finely engraved broadside view of HMS Shannon under full sail, rendered in high relief against a frosted background with deeply mirrored fields suggesting open water. The ship is shown with all sails set, its rigging and hull details faithfully reproduced in a detailed maritime composition. A small applied gold-plated portrait medallion, inset in the upper right field, bears a bust portrait of a naval officer, referencing the commanders associated with the vessel. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper rim, flanked by the denomination 10 to the lower left, while the commemorative date span 1812–2012 appears along the lower rim. The overall design commemorates the bicentennial of the War of 1812 and the celebrated capture of USS Chesapeake by HMS Shannon. |
