| Reverse description | A powerful three-quarter bust portrait of a horse dominates the center of the scalloped field, rendered in high relief with finely engraved flowing mane that extends dramatically to the upper left. Delicate ginkgo leaves, depicted with intricate veining, cascade from the upper right, framing the composition within the lotus-shaped contour. To the lower right of the horse's head, the Chinese character '馬' (mǎ, meaning 'horse') is incused in the polished field, accompanied by the engraver's initials 'CRR' below and to the left. The interplay of frosted and mirror surfaces creates strong contrast between the sculptural horse and the reflective background, exemplifying the quality of Royal Canadian Mint proof craftsmanship. |
