| Reverse description | The reverse, engraved by Laurie McGaw, presents a full-length standing figure of Samuel de Champlain, the French explorer and founder of New France, dressed in early 17th-century attire including a broad-brimmed hat, doublet, breeches, and buckled shoes. The central figure is set against a cartographic field evoking Champlain's own maps of the Huronia region, with graduated compass-rose lines radiating across the field. Subsidiary vignettes in the lower right depict a First Nations figure in a canoe amid wilderness scenery, evoking Champlain's encounters in Huronia. The engraver's initials LM appear to the left of the central figure, while the date 2015 is inscribed to the right. The denomination 3 DOLLARS arcs along the left border and CANADA along the lower border. |
