| Reverse description | Two Atlantic Puffins (Fratercula arctica) are depicted in finely detailed relief perched upon and landing near coastal rock formations, with tufts of coastal grasses visible to the right. The foreground bird faces left with wings spread open in a landing pose, while the second bird stands upright on the rocks in the upper centre, both rendered with naturalistic feather texturing. The scientific name Fratercula arctica appears as a legend in italic script along the lower centre of the field. The legend CANADA arcs along the bottom, while 50 CENTS and the date 1995 are inscribed vertically along the right side. The engraver's initials appear discreetly in the lower right field. |
