| Reverse description | A stylized Haida-art depiction of a bear in traditional Northwest Coast formline design, rendered in bold red and black enamel against the polished gold field. The bear is shown frontally in a totemic, symmetrical composition, cradling a small child figure at its chest, its face featuring wide-set eyes, prominent brows, and a toothy grin characteristic of Haida artistic tradition. Intricate ovoid and U-form elements fill the body of the bear, highlighting joints and internal forms in vivid red enamel. The artist's initials 'AW' appear to the lower right of the central design. The legend 'CANADA' arcs along the left border, while '500 DOLLARS 2016' arcs along the right border. |
