| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Canadian artist Lisa Thomson-Khan, features a two-zone composition: an ornate stylized floral pattern rendered in fine line work encircles the outer ring, while the inner field presents a vivid coloured portrait of Ontario's official provincial floral emblem, the white trillium (Trillium grandiflorum), with its three broad white petals and yellow-green centre faithfully reproduced in applied colour. The artist's initials LT appear as the sole inscription in the field. The overall design is executed in a decorative naturalistic style characteristic of the Royal Canadian Mint's provincial floral series. |
