Reverse descriptionInspired by traditional Chinese folk art and folklore, the reverse design by artist Aries Cheung features a depiction of the Jade or Gold Rabbit, adorned with wing motifs that speak to the Rabbit’s traditional association with the moon, nature, healing and wellbeing. Sent by Chang’e, the goddess of the moon, the noble Rabbit carries medicinal herbs in its mouth, as it completes its healing mission on earth. The Chinese character for “Rabbit” is nestled among flowers and cinnamon leaves, while above, the auspicious cloud pattern and Flower Moon imply a blessing of vitality, longevity and prosperity. The reverse also includes the word “CANADA” and a face value of “2500 DOLLARS”.
