| Reverse description | A detailed, forward-facing portrait of a muskox dominates the reverse field, its massive horned head and thick shaggy coat rendered with exceptional naturalistic detail by engraver Sheldon Beveridge. The legend CANADA arcs across the upper portion of the field, while the denomination 30 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower margin. The engraver's initials LH appear in the lower right field beneath the muskox's shoulder. The deeply mirrored proof fields contrast with the frosted device to create a striking cameo effect. |
