| Reverse description | The reverse features a central composition depicting a large adult woodchuck (Marmota monax) rendered in fine proof relief against a rocky background in the upper field, with a colorized juvenile woodchuck in the foreground shown nibbling a purple clover blossom. The surrounding flora — including purple clover, yellow wildflowers, and green grasses — is rendered in vivid selective color application. The legend 'CANADA' arcs along the upper border beneath a naturalistic rocky outcrop, with the date '2016' at lower left, the engraver's initials 'MG' at the left field, and the denomination '20 DOLLARS' along the lower right periphery. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Royal Canadian Mint's long-running "$20 for $20" program, which launched in 2011 and sold fine silver coins directly to the public at face value — an aggressive retail strategy that made precious metal collecting accessible to buyers who had never purchased a numismatic coin before. The woodchuck was among the later issues as the program wound down, by which point the RCM had quietly raised prices above the nominal twenty-dollar peg.
