The reverse design by Kwakiutl artist Richard Hunt features a shining sun surrounded by two engraved pairs of bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) — one is enhanced with multiple finishes, the other is enhanced with colour. A ring of triangular mountain peaks frame the battling sheep, which bear the eagle crest of the artist's village (Fort Rupert, B.C.) on their back and the raven crest of the artist's father on their hooves.
