| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two voyageurs paddling a large birchbark canoe in high relief against a plain field, with a prominent curved prow rising to the upper left. One figure, appearing Indigenous, paddles at the bow, while a second figure wearing a hat paddles at the stern, evoking the fur trade era of exploration in the Canadian Northwest. The scene is set against calm water rendered in low relief along the base. |
