| Reverse description | A De Havilland Canada DHC-8 Dash 8 twin-turboprop regional airliner is depicted in flight, banking slightly and emerging from a sculpted cloudscape that fills the field. An inset oval cameo, struck in 24-karat gold plate, appears in the upper left quadrant and bears the portrait of Robert H. Fowler, honouring his contributions to Canadian aviation. The legend is incuse along the lower arc within a recessed banner, reading CANADA 20 DOLLARS. The overall composition combines frosted relief detailing on the clouds and aircraft against a mirrored field, characteristic of proof coinage. |
