| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly magnified stellar dendrite ice crystal, faithfully reproduced from a photograph by renowned Canadian macro-photographer Don Komarechka. Six symmetrical, fern-like dendritic arms radiate from the centre in a classically hexagonal snowflake formation, their intricate branching rendered in exquisite detail by Royal Canadian Mint engravers. A genuine clear crystal inlay at the coin's centre captures and refracts light, evoking the natural sparkle of winter ice. The reverse proof finish contrasts the frosted branches against the polished field, enhancing the three-dimensional illusion of the microscopic subject. The photographer's monogram DK appears discretely in the field. |
