| Reverse description | The reverse recreates the beloved motif of the 1967 5-cent circulation coin by Canadian artist Alex Colville: a rabbit in profile. Rendered with remarkable precision, the animal is depicted in the act of pouncing. Its front legs are extended, while its powerful hind legs propel it forward. The motif is enhanced by selective gold plating applied to the rabbit and the coin`s bead. Also engraved on the reverse are the face value `5 CENTS`, the word `CANADA` and the commemorative dates `1867-2017`. |
