Reverse description
The reverse is a springtime scene set in a rural area in southern Canada, where a small bridge lies over a meandering brook that winds past weathered barns in the engraved background. The selectively coloured portion of the design re-creates the striking colours of a male Baltimore oriole (Icterus galbula) among the cream-coloured blooms of a flowering dogwood (Cornus florida).
