| Reverse description | The reverse commemorates the centenary of the discovery of insulin, featuring a central composition of pharmaceutical and laboratory instruments: a mortar and pestle, an Erlenmeyer flask, and a labeled insulin bottle, all set against a backdrop of Canadian maple leaves. To the left, stylized flowing lines evoke the landscape, accompanied by clusters of grapes and ovoid forms symbolizing cells or islets of Langerhans. In the upper left field, an abstract ribbon-like motif representing the insulin molecule is rendered in high relief. The date range 1921-2021 appears prominently to the left of the central design, the legend CANADA arcs along the upper rim, and the engraver's initials JK appear in the lower right field. |
