| Reverse description | The reverse depicts an open book — symbolizing the Torah and the Jewish identity as the People of the Book — rendered in low relief at the lower center of the field. Rising dramatically from the open pages is a stylized, ascending arrangement of all twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet, artistically composed in a flowing, organic form that evokes the living tradition of Hebrew scripture and learning. The mintmark 'מ' (for the Royal Canadian Mint) appears in the lower exergue below the book. The field is otherwise unlettered, allowing the allegorical design to command full visual attention. |
