The reverse features a detailed reproduction of the Coat of Arms of Saskatchewan. The image centers on a shield featuring the traditional lion symbol associated with royalty. The lion surmounts a field featuring three sheaves of wheat, symbolizing the province's core agricultural resource. The shield is borne by a royal lion on the left and the province's provincial animal, the white-tailed deer, on the right. Each of these supporters sports a Prairie Indian beaded collar and the lily-shaped badge of the Saskatchewan Order of Merit. Above the shield is a crest featuring a golden helmet of sovereignty, symbolic of Saskatchewan's participation in Confederation. Standing atop the helmet is the Canadian beaver, representing Canada and its unique history, First Peoples, and economic development. The beaver holds a stem of the provincial flower: western red lily. On its back, the beaver bears the crown of the monarchy. Beneath the shield is a banner bearing the motto MULTIS E GENTIBUS VIRES, Latin for "From Many Peoples Strength," which floats above a base of western red lilies.
