Reverse descriptionDesigned by artist Rebecca Yanovskaya, the time-travelling reverse offers an artist`s rendition of the Viking settlement at L`Anse aux Meadows, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Norse explorer Leif Erikson stands inthe foreground, where he observes the activities ofhis crew and proudly surveys the settlement he founded around the year 1000. Selective gold plating highlights the ornamental flourishes, which are inspired by Norse art and wood carvings. The word `CANADA` is inscribed in a runic font along with the double dates `1945 – 2020` which flank the UNESCO logo to commemorate its 75th anniversary.
