| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse, designed by Canadian artist Trevor Tennant, depicts a young North American porcupine (porcupette) in a detailed forest setting, rendered in fine engraving with selective color application. The porcupette is shown in side view, its dense black coat interspersed with long guard hairs and white-tinged quills faithfully recreated through the polychrome treatment. In the foreground, the porcupette grips a pink clover blossom in its forepaw and brings it to its mouth, set against green foliage and forest floor vegetation at the base of a tree. An adult porcupine is engraved in the background, turning to face the viewer. The reverse legend CANADA 20 DOLLARS 2016 frames the composition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Part of the RCM's long-running "Baby Animals" series, which launched in 2013 and has reliably sold out each annual release on the strength of collector demand rather than any numismatic tradition. The porcupine entry appeared in 2016 as the fourth installment.
North American porcupines are born fully quilled — the quills harden within hours of birth. Whether that detail informed the RCM's selection for the series is unrecorded, but it's a more defensible choice than some.
