| Reverse description | A detailed cross-sectional diagram of a typical Sudbury nickel mine fills the field, labelled with 'HEAD FRAME', 'SHAFT', 'DRIFT', and 'ORE', showing ore cars and tunnelling levels in relief. A descriptive text panel on the left explains the history of the Sudbury Basin nickel-copper discovery of 1883, attributed to 'MACISAAC MINING & TUNNELING CO.' A caption reads 'CROSS SECTION OF A TYPICAL SUDBURY MINE'. The peripheral legend 'THE NICKEL CAPITAL OF THE WORLD' curves along the top rim and 'SUDBURY' along the base, flanked by star stops. |
