| Reverse description | A fully colorized scene set in a snow-dusted woodland depicts a whimsical elf, dressed in a green tunic and hat with pointed ears, kneeling on a tree stump as he assembles a wooden birdhouse using a small mallet. Multiple birdhouses are visible mounted on the bare birch trees in the background, and a small bird stands at lower right in the snowy field. A lantern rests beside the stump at lower left, enhancing the fairy-tale atmosphere. The legend CANADA 2016 arcs along the upper rim, while FINE SILVER 9999 ARGENT PUR 25 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower rim; the engraver's initials JK appear at lower right in the field. |
