| Reverse description | Central design depicts an Inuk paddler seated in a traditional qajaq (kayak), rendered in high relief against a deeply frosted field, navigating Arctic waters amid floating ice floes. In the background, a dramatic arched iceberg frames the scene, evoking the vast Canadian Arctic landscape. The figure wears traditional Inuit clothing and holds a double-bladed paddle, with the hull of the kayak detailed with characteristic skin-lashing lines. The composition is presented without peripheral legend or inscription, allowing the finely engraved pictorial design to occupy the full coin field. |
