| Reverse description | A highly detailed, six-pointed snowflake design occupies the central field, its arms and hexagonal lattice rendered with fine frosted texture evoking the crystalline structure of natural ice. Five marquise-cut clear Swarovski crystal elements are inlaid within the arms of the snowflake, while a single round emerald-green Swarovski crystal is set at the center. The legend 'CANADA' arcs along the upper portion of the field, the date '2011' appears below, and the engraver's initials 'KW' are inscribed in the lower right field. |
