| Reverse description | The reverse features an intricate Rangoli-inspired design rendered in engraved high relief, celebrating Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Lights. The composition is structured in concentric geometric and floral registers, incorporating sacred spiritual symbols associated with Sikhism and Jainism, a ring of clay diya oil lamps, and the provincial floral emblems of Ontario (trillium) and British Columbia (Pacific dogwood), representing Canada's major Indo-Canadian communities. At the centre, the sacred Sanskrit symbol OM is prominently featured, encircled by a ring of maple leaves — Canada's national emblem — reinforcing the coin's theme of multicultural celebration within a Canadian identity. The engraved detailing throughout reflects the elaborate symmetrical patterning characteristic of traditional South Asian folk art. The initials MS appear in the reverse field. |
