| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Canadian artist Glen Green, depicts Engine No. 374, a 4-4-0 steam locomotive historically celebrated as the first to haul a transcontinental passenger train linking eastern and western Canada. The locomotive is rendered in detailed relief, evoking the pivotal role of railway expansion in the consolidation of Confederation after 1867. Ornate Art Nouveau decorative elements frame the central composition, their flowing, organic motifs providing an elegant contrast to the mechanical precision of the engine. The denomination and country name appear in the legend. The overall design commemorates the railways as a founding symbol of Canadian national identity. |
