Reverse description
Your coin’s reverse travels to British Columbia for a view of Canada’s Pacific coast. This iconic coastal view shows a pod of orcas (Orcinus orca) travelling in the waters near a rocky island, while in the background, mighty forests and mountains line the shore. Compass elements surround the engraved portrait to form a frame that contains the word “CANADA” and a face value of “20 DOLLARS”.
