Found in the waters of the Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic oceans, and a wealth of rivers and lakes in between, Canada’s salmonid species are a powerful symbol of the wild and a valued part of our natural heritage.

The reverse design by Canadian artist Curtis Atwater features the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) during its
upstream journey to spawning grounds in one of the many rivers flowing through the boreal forests of
Eastern Canada. In the skilfully engraved background, several migrating salmon can be seen leaping out of
the fast-moving waters to ascend the rocky waterfall. Selective colour superbly highlights the salmon in the
foreground, whose tail is curled up as it angles forward with great energy.

Wonderful addition to any nature or wildlife-themed collection, and the perfect gift for any avid fisherman, outdoor or nature enthusiast!
