| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by wildlife artist Claude Thivierge, presents a striking circular composition featuring two adult sea otters (Enhydra lutris) arranged in a yin-and-yang configuration, symbolising contrasting yet complementary states of rest and activity. The design employs contrasting surface treatments through selective black rhodium and gold plating to distinguish the two figures and enhance the visual duality of the motif. The naturalistic rendering captures fine anatomical detail of the otters' fur and posture, demonstrating high-relief engraving technique. The artist's initials CT appear as the sole reverse lettering, positioned discreetly within the design field. |
