| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely engraved depiction of a polar bear (Ursus maritimus) traversing a snow-covered Arctic ice shelf, its head turned to the side in a naturalistic pose. The central motif, rendered in engraved silver, is framed by a bold gold-plated surround that the bear's forepaws appear to step across, creating a dynamic sense of movement between the inner and outer design registers. The inscription 'CANADA' arcs along the upper portion of the outer field, with the date '2025' placed at the lower right, both engraved within the gold-plated border. The initials 'TT' appear in the field, denoting the engraver. The overall composition effectively contrasts the matte silver of the central scene with the lustrous gold plating of the surrounding elements. |
