| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic split-perspective composition commemorating the Battle of the Atlantic (1939–1945), dividing the scene between an above-water and an underwater vantage point. Above the waterline, a Consolidated B-24 Liberator aircraft bearing the markings of Royal Canadian Air Force No. 10 Squadron patrols the mid-Atlantic waters south of Greenland and Iceland, having signaled the presence of an enemy U-boat to HMCS St. Croix. Below the surface, the menacing silhouette of the submerged submarine is rendered in vivid detail, evoking the desperate moments before the tragic sinking of St. Croix on September 20, 1943. Bilingual legends in the exergue and surrounding field read THE BATTLE OF THE ATLANTIC / LA BATAILLE DE L'ATLANTIQUE, with the date range 1939–1945 and the country name CANADA and issue year 2018. |
