| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylized monkey rendered in a traditional Chinese folk-art manner, depicted in a crouching posture and moving to the right, with one arm raised above its head and the other extending forward to grasp a peach with leafy branch — a symbol of longevity in Chinese culture. The body of the monkey is decorated with fine engraved scroll-work patterns. To the left of the central design, the large Chinese character '猴' (meaning 'monkey') appears prominently in the field. The legend 'CANADA 2016' arcs along the upper periphery, the denomination '15 DOLLARS' is inscribed along the lower rim, and the engraver's initials 'AC' appear in the lower left field. |
