Reverse descriptionThe coin’s holiday-themed reverse showcases the time-honoured tradition of trimming the holiday tree. The whimsical winter scene features three wildlife friends—Caribou, Churchill the polar bear and Beaver—who have gathered in a forest to decorate a tree and enjoy the magic of the holiday season in Canada. Lenticular technology creates the illusion of motion and time passage, as a second image reveals itself when the scene is viewed from different angles: day changes to a snowy night, and the three friends are now seated around the illuminated tree while taking part in a holiday gift exchange.
