Reverse
Kwame Delfish

Obverse
Steven Rosati
The reverse design by Canadian artist Kwame Delfish features three concentric rings of traditional Adinkra motifs encircling a central maple leaf representing Canada. The innermost ring consists of a repeating vertical pairing of two Mpatapo symbols, the peace knot of reconciliation. A second ring features a repeating sequence of four Adinkra symbols (clockwise from top): the Asase ye Duru (“the Earth has weight”) symbol representing the divinity of Mother Earth, the Funtunfunefu Denkyemfunefu (“Siamese crocodiles”) symbol of unity in diversity, and the Mekyia Wo (“I salute you”) symbol of respect and greeting, followed again by Funtunfunefu Denkyemfunefu. The outermost ring is anchored at the cardinal points by the maple leaf atop two Mpatapo symbols, echoing the innermost layer, while each quadrant displays the Asase ye Duru symbol flanked by two Nkonsonkonson (“chain link”) symbols representing unity and human relations, creating a sense of community and connectedness. The obverse features a maple leaf pattern and the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
Kwame Delfish, Artist
“As an artist of Caribbean descent, I am deeply connected to the Adinkra symbols and the ancestral wisdom they carry from West Africa. Each symbol speaks to values of strength, unity, and purpose that continue to guide our communities today. Initially, I envisioned this design in a square arrangement to pay homage to the Adinkra cloth from which these symbols derived. However, as the design evolved, it became clear the circular arrangement would mirror the continuity of culture, connection, and collective resilience.”
