| Reverse description | The reverse bears a bold relief depiction of a voyageur portaging a canoe across his shoulders along a forested trail, evoking the early fur trade and Métis heritage that predated Manitoba's entry into Confederation. The figure is rendered in a dynamic, narrative style characteristic of Canadian commemorative trade tokens of the era. A surrounding legend references the short-lived "Republic of Manitobah" and the dates 1867–1868, alluding to the provisional government proclaimed by Thomas Spence at Portage la Prairie during that period. The design serves as a tribute to the region's multilayered colonial and Indigenous history. |
