The Design:
The reverse image by Canadian artist Stéphanie Gauvin features an artistic rendering of Tower Peak, nestled in Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park. Here, masterful engraving recreates the artist’s brush strokes. As the reverse design’s central point of interest, the snow-covered edges of Tower Peak rise up from the sub-alpine meadow in the foreground, which is lined with tall spruces.
A stunning addition to any nature-, wilderness- or Canadiana-themed collection.
