| Reverse description | A three-quarter facing portrait of Laura Secord dominates the right side of the field, depicted wearing a period bonnet and dress with a bow at the collar, rendered in finely detailed relief. The background is engraved with repeating bilingual text reading 'War of 1812' and 'La guerre de 1812' in alternating lines, evoking the historical significance of the conflict. The denomination numeral '4' and the inscription 'DOLLARS' appear prominently in the upper left of the field, with the surname 'Secord' inscribed in italic script below. A coloured red maple leaf bearing the year '1812' in applied enamel is positioned in the lower left quadrant, providing a striking patriotic accent. |
