| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, naturalistically rendered effigy of a plains bison (Bison bison) standing in profile facing right, grazing amid prairie grasses, with a mesa or butte visible in the background landscape. The design, engraved by Canadian artist C.D. (as indicated by the initials appearing in the lower left field), captures the animal's characteristic massive humped shoulders, shaggy mane, and powerful stance with exceptional sculptural depth. The encircling legend reads CANADA 2015 along the upper arc, with FINE SILVER 1 1/4 OZ ARGENT PUR along the lower arc, and the purity designation .9999 appearing in the lower central field. |
