| Reverse description | A Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) is depicted in dramatic frontal landing posture, wings fully spread and talons extended forward, rendered in vibrant selective coloring applied over a mirror-polished field. The bird's dark slate-grey head with characteristic yellow cere and eye-ring contrasts with the finely barred white and grey plumage of the breast and underwings, while the bright yellow-orange feet and talons add further chromatic detail. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper periphery, and the bilingual fineness inscription FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR curves along the lower rim. The purity mark .9999 appears in the left field. The engraver's initials ED are visible in small relief near the base of the design. |
