| Reverse description | The reverse features a richly detailed colorized scene depicting the Royal Navy vessels H.M.S. Erebus and H.M.S. Terror navigating the treacherous, ice-choked waters of the Canadian Arctic during Sir John Franklin's ill-fated 1845 expedition. H.M.S. Erebus is portrayed prominently in the foreground under full sail, with H.M.S. Terror visible to starboard amid jagged pack ice and a dramatic Arctic sky rendered in applied color. The composition conveys the peril and grandeur of polar exploration, with meticulous attention to period-accurate rigging and hull details. The legend 'CANADA' arcs along the upper rim and the date '2015' appears in the lower field, both in Latin script. |
