| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by graphic artist Albert Ng, presents a dynamic composition inspired by the Chinese legend of the Carp and the Dragon Gate, drawing influence from traditional depictions of Chi Wen, second son of the Dragon King. The central motif features a triumphant carp mid-transformation, rendered with a Chinese dragon head upon a scaled fish body, symbolising the moment of reward following the leap over the waterfall — a metaphor for perseverance and achievement. Stylised water and wave elements occupy the lower field, representing the adversity and obstacles overcome on the path to success. The inscription CANADA 2021 and the designer's initials AKN are positioned within the reverse legend. |
