| Reverse description | A Canada goose in dynamic flight occupies the central field, wings fully extended and neck outstretched, rendered in bold naturalistic detail after Alex Colville's celebrated design. The bird is depicted in left-facing flight, positioned above the date 1965 in the lower central field. The inscription CANADA appears along the lower border within the legend, while TWENTY FIVE TOKENS arcs across the upper periphery. The design exhibits exceptional artistic vitality, characteristic of Colville's contributions to Canadian coinage imagery. |
