| Reverse description | The reverse celebrates the pioneering cartographers of Canada through a central portrait of David Thompson (1770–1857), widely acclaimed as North America's greatest geographer and land surveyor. Thompson is depicted in period dress, his likeness rendered in fine matte relief, set against a background evoking the cartographic surveys and vast wilderness landscapes he charted throughout his career. The design honors the broader legacy of the countless mapmakers whose work shaped the geographic understanding of the Canadian territory. The denomination 15 DOLLARS, country name CANADA, date 2014, and the engraver's initials JM are inscribed within the legend along the lower periphery. |
