| Reverse description | The reverse presents a portrait of Samuel de Champlain, the celebrated French explorer and founder of New France, rendered in a sepia-toned engraving style within a large oval medallion framed by a bold gold-plated beaded border, mounted on an ornate scrollwork cartouche bearing the inscription CHAMPLAIN. The background of the oval portrait features a compass rose and rhumb-line grid evoking Champlain's cartographic achievements, while the broader field of the puzzle-piece planchet is decorated with finely engraved maple leaf sprays extending across both sides. The overall composition combines selective gold plating on the beaded frame with the mirror-polished proof silver field, creating a striking contrast between the coloured inset portrait and the surrounding relief engraving. |
