| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a finely engraved pair of Harlequin Ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus) perched upon a rocky outcrop emerging from water, rendered in exquisite detail by engraver Susan Taylor, whose initials ST appear on the rock at lower left. The female duck is shown standing atop the rock in the upper left, while the male rests beside her to the right, both birds meticulously detailed with feather texture and naturalistic postures. The country name CANADA arcs along the upper rim, and the denomination 150 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower rim. The composition is set against a deeply mirrored proof field, emphasizing the sculptural relief of the wildlife design. |
