| Reverse description | Proof-finished reverse depicting a peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) leaning forward attentively over a nest containing several nestlings huddled together, the scene rendered in naturalistic high relief by engraver José Osio. The parent bird is shown in profile with wings folded, its sleek plumage and hooked beak faithfully represented. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper left rim and 2006 along the upper right, while 5 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower rim. The engraver's initials DJH appear in small letters at the lower left of the design field. The deeply mirrored proof surfaces enhance the sculptural quality of the wildlife composition. |
