Reverse description High-relief adaptation of Cornelius Krieghoff's painting 'The Habitant Farm', depicting a lively winter farmyard scene in rural Quebec. At centre, a horse-drawn sleigh loaded with passengers arrives before a snow-covered habitant farmhouse and outbuildings flanked by coniferous trees; figures including a boy with a whip, a dog, and a group of settlers appear in the middle ground and right foreground. The engraver's signature 'C. KRIEGHOFF' appears incuse in the lower right field, attributing the original artistic source. The entire composition fills the coin's field in deeply sculpted relief with a frosted texture contrasting against the polished background.
