| Reverse description | The reverse presents a sculptural adaptation of Franklin Carmichael's 1931 watercolour painting 'Houses, Cobalt,' rendered in high relief against a frosted proof field. The composition depicts a panoramic winter townscape of Cobalt, Ontario, with clusters of snow-laden houses and mining-era structures cascading across rocky, undulating terrain. Foreground buildings with distinct chimneys and windows are rendered in polished relief, while the densely packed dwellings receding toward the upper field convey depth and the characteristic bold, simplified forms of Carmichael's Group of Seven aesthetic. The encircling legend along the upper border reads · 20 DOLLARS · CANADA ·, flanked by the date 2012 at the right, and · FRANKLIN CARMICHAEL · along the lower border, all separated by raised dot punctuation. |
