| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Konrad Wachelko, presents an allegorical composition commemorating the bicentennial of the War of 1812. A proud eagle, symbolizing American forces, confronts a lion representing British and Canadian forces, with a central shield emblazoned with a maple leaf positioned between the two figures to signify the unified resolve of English- and French-speaking Canadian volunteers and First Nations warriors. The exergue and field carry the commemorative date range 1812-2012 along with the fineness and weight inscriptions. The legend CBS 9999 FINE GOLD 1/4 OZ OR PUR appears within the design, attesting to the coin's gold content and purity. |
