| Reverse description | A finely detailed close-up portrait of a male Harlequin Duck (Histrionicus histrionicus) occupies the central field, rendered in sculptural relief with naturalistic feather texturing on the head, neck, and folded wings. The bird faces left with its distinctive rounded head, small bill, and characteristic plumage markings faithfully reproduced against a mirror-polished proof field. The engraver's initials ST appear to the lower right of the design. The inscription CANADA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 30 DOLLARS is positioned along the lower rim. |
