| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic aerial scene commemorating the encounter of May 14, 1917, in which a Curtiss H-12 flying boat engaged and destroyed the German Zeppelin L-22 over the North Sea. The Curtiss H-12 biplane flying boat is portrayed in the foreground in selective colour, rendered with fine engraved detail highlighting its distinctive hull and wing configuration. The Zeppelin L-22 appears in the background, conveying the scale and tension of the historic confrontation. The scene is framed by the legends CANADA and 2016 above, with Curtiss H-12 inscribed in the lower field. The composition effectively captures the historic significance of this early aerial naval engagement of the First World War. |
