| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Canadian artist Hélène Girard and engraved by Cecily Mok, features a centrally inlaid grade AAA rose-cut blue sapphire gemstone set within an ornate decorative composition evoking Canada's cultural and Francophone heritage, the deep blue hue of the sapphire symbolising the nation's French-Canadian spirit. Intricate stylised motifs radiate outward from the gemstone centrepiece, rendered in high relief on the fine gold field. The artist's initials HG appear within the reverse design as the sole lettering element. |
