Design

The reverse design by Canadian artist Claudio D’Angelo features a portrait of a galloping Canadian horse. The stunning image centres on the horse in full gallop across a grassy meadow. Its characteristic wavy mane and tail, fine graceful head and neck, and powerful musculature are rendered in striking detail, enhanced with a matte-proof finish. In the distant background, rolling farmland rises above a vast river. This creature is a uniquely Canadian symbol, as it is the purest North American horse breed. DNA testing proves it to be unrelated to other North American breeds!
