| Reverse description | The reverse features a vivid full-color rendition of the purple saxifrage (Saxifraga oppositifolia), the official floral emblem of Nunavut, as designed by Canadian artist Lisa Thomson-Khan. The plant is depicted in naturalistic detail, showing the characteristic small, densely clustered bright purple blossoms and dark green mat-forming foliage. The coloring is applied selectively against a polished mirror-like proof field, heightening the botanical realism of the composition. The artist's initials LT appear discretely in the lower field. The design celebrates the flora of Canada's newest territory in a commemorative series dedicated to provincial and territorial floral emblems. |
