Reverse description The reverse, designed by artist Pandora Young, depicts a poignant child's-eye view of the Liberation of the Netherlands in the spring of 1945. In the foreground, a young Dutch girl extends a tulip toward a Canadian infantryman seated atop a military carrier, while jubilant civilians crowd around and clamber onto the vehicle in celebration of their newfound freedom. The scene is rendered with fine engraving detail, conveying the joyful chaos of the historic moment. The bilingual legend LIBERATION OF THE NETHERLANDS - LIBÉRATION DES PAYS-BAS arcs around the upper periphery, with the artist's initials PY, the historic date 1945, and the issuing country and year CANADA 2020 appearing in the lower field.
