| Reverse description | The reverse, engraved by Neil Hamelin, depicts two Avro CF-105 Arrow supersonic interceptor aircraft rendered in high relief against a finely detailed grid-patterned field suggestive of technical engineering blueprints. A larger Arrow is shown in a dynamic three-quarter perspective in the foreground, with a second Arrow visible in a banking attitude in the upper left background, conveying a sense of speed and aeronautical achievement. Schematic technical details and component annotations are subtly incorporated into the background design, referencing the aircraft's engineering drawings. The legend CANADA is inscribed along the upper rim in bold letters. |
