| Reverse description | A naturalistic, finely engraved polar bear (Ursus maritimus) is depicted seated upright on a snow-dusted rocky outcrop, head raised and turned slightly, conveying alertness and strength. The scene is rendered in vivid selective color, with a panoramic Arctic landscape of snow-capped mountain peaks, glacial rock formations, and an overcast sky occupying the background, enhanced by a diamond glittering effect. The denomination 20 DOLLARS arcs along the upper periphery in bold lettering. The artist's initials GL appear in the lower right field. The composition powerfully evokes Canada's vast northern wilderness and the iconic status of the polar bear as a symbol of the Arctic. |
