| Reverse description | The reverse presents a symmetrically composed design featuring a centrally placed gold-plated sunburst at the heart of the composition, from which four sailboats radiate outward in a compass-rose arrangement, their sails rendered in high relief against the polished silver field. Eight orcas are arranged in pairs around the central motif, oriented in alternating directions to evoke movement across the water. Four Kermode bears, selectively gold-plated, are positioned at the corners and sides of the square flan, their textured fur contrasting with the smooth background. The engraver's initials MB appear in the lower right field. The overall design evokes the natural splendor of the British Columbia Pacific coast. |
