The coin recreates the classic motif of the one-cent circulation coin issued in 1967, created by Canadian artist Alex Colville: a rock pigeon with outstretched wings, seen from the front. Carefully engraved, this enlarged version of the original design offers even greater detail, particularly in the tail and wing feathers. The pigeon and the coin's bead are enhanced by gold plating.

La pièce recrée le motif classique de la pièce de circulation de un cent émise en 1967, qu'avait créé l'artiste canadien Alex Colville : un pigeon biset aux ailes déployées, vu de face. Gravée avec soin, cette version agrandie du motif original offre encore plus de détails, notamment dans les plumes de la queue et des ailes. Le pigeon biset et le cordon de la pièce sont rehaussés d'un placage d'or.
