Designs and Specifications

Canadian artist Steve Hepburn created the design found on the reverse or tails sides of the coin. It is emblematic of the vast and varied plants, animals, landscapes and activities that one may encounter in the mountain ranges of Canada. Design elements range from a bunchberry blossom to a mountain goat to a snowboarder.

CANADA is above the collage with 200 DOLLARS and 2015 below it. Hepburn’s initials appear to the left.
