| Reverse description | The reverse presents an ultra-high relief depiction of a Gothic grotesque known as the Green Man, an original interpretation by Dominion Sculptor Phillip White derived from a carved architectural detail on the East Block of the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa. The bearded face stares intensely outward as it disgorges sinuous, stylized stiff-leaf foliage from its open mouth, with additional whirling leafy stems and tendrils composing the figure's brows and hair in the medieval Gothic tradition. The intricate sculptural detail is rendered with exceptional depth and precision, showcasing the coin's ultra-high relief minting technique. The legend CANADA 25 DOLLARS 2016 is distributed around the periphery of the reverse field. |
