| Reverse description | The brass centre depicts a narwhal swimming at the ocean surface, its distinctive elongated spiral tusk extending diagonally across the field, with an offshore oil drilling platform rendered in fine detail in the upper background. The surrounding copper-nickel ring continues the ocean scene with stylised Arctic waves and fragments of ice floes rendered in the exergue area. The legend 'NARWHAL' is inscribed along the upper arc of the ring in bold serif lettering, while the geographic coordinates 'N75°19′ E49°25′' appear in the lower left of the field, identifying a specific Arctic location. |
