| Reverse description | The reverse presents a high-relief artistic composition by Christie Paquet commemorating the Squamish people's ancestral legend of survival during a great flood, a traditional narrative of the indigenous peoples of British Columbia. The design depicts figures and symbolic elements drawn from Squamish oral tradition, evoking themes of perseverance and cultural heritage through stylized imagery characteristic of Pacific Northwest Coast Indigenous art. The composition fills the broad flan of this large-format one-kilogram gold coin, with fine sculptural detail rendered in deep relief. |
