Reverse description The reverse presents an elaborate heraldic landscape composition in high relief, with selective gold plating highlighting key design elements. At the centre, the Arms of Canada — featuring the quartered shield supported by a lion rampant and a unicorn, surmounted by a royal crown — occupies a circular cartouche, with the motto A MARI USQUE AD MARE inscribed on a ribbon below. Surrounding this central armorial achievement, a richly detailed landscape of engraved foliage, branches, and waterways frames an array of indigenous Canadian birds rendered in naturalistic style, including an owl, a loon, a raven, a robin, a woodpecker, a ptarmigan, and several others, all distributed throughout the field. The engraver's initials CBS appear discreetly within the design. The outer legend DESIDERANTS MELIOREM PATRIAM arcs around the upper portion of the rim.
