| Reverse description | The reverse features a dynamic artistic composition by Inuit artist Tim Pitsiulak depicting a large Arctic char in the foreground, rendered with bold sculptural relief and a textured, scale-patterned body. Two smaller fish are shown in silhouette in the mid-ground, conveying a sense of depth and underwater movement. Additional small fish appear in the upper right and lower register of the field, suggesting a school swimming in open Arctic waters. The composition fills the round flan to the rim with no inscriptions, allowing the naturalistic imagery to dominate. The overall design reflects Inuit artistic traditions and celebrates wildlife of the Canadian North. |
