| Reverse description | A vivid full-color photographic rendering depicts the iconic lighthouse at Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia, set against a dramatic early winter dawn sky with warm golden and violet tones. Snow-dusted granite rocks and partially frozen surf occupy the foreground and middle ground, evoking the rugged Atlantic coastline in cold season. The lighthouse stands prominently on the rocky promontory in the upper center of the composition. Along the lower portion of the field, the legend CANADA is incused in large raised letters, with the commemorative dates 1867 and 2017 flanking a small maple leaf motif in the exergue, marking the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation. |
