Rewers przedstawia słup totemiczny Pierwszych Narodów Północno-Zachodniego Wybrzeża z górami w tle. Apokryficzna, ale szeroko rozpowszechniona historia głosi, że górnym elementem słupa jest kruk, używany przez niektórych Pierwszych Narodów do symbolizowania śmierci. W rezultacie krążyły plotki, że te Pierwsze Narody nie lubiły dolarów, przez co nazywano je "DOLARAMI ŚMIERCI". Jednak postać z wyprostowanymi uszami, wyraźnym nosem, długimi pazurami i czymś, co może być wystającym językiem, nie jest Krukiem, ale bardziej prawdopodobne, że Niedźwiedzicą, pod nią jej młode. Motyw ten pojawia się na wielu słupach totemicznych. Co więcej, ani Niedźwiedź, ani Kruk nie są kojarzeni ze śmiercią; ten pierwszy jest powszechnym herbem klanowym, a drugi jest znaną postacią Trickstera i Stwórcy, kluczową dla setek opowieści ludów północno-zachodniego wybrzeża.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

The reverse shows the design of a Northwest Coast First Nations totem pole with mountains in the background. An apocryphal but widely circulated story holds that the top element in the pole is Raven, used by some First Nations to symbolize death. As a result, it was rumored that those First Nations disliked the dollars, causing them to be called "DEATH DOLLARS." However, the figure with upright ears, a distinct nose, long claws, and what may be a tongue sticking out is not Raven, but more likely Bear, beneath her her cub. This motif appears on many totem poles. Further, neither Bear nor Raven is associated with death; the former is a common clan-owned crest, the latter is a celebrated Trickster and Creator figure central to hundreds of stories of the peoples of the Northwest Coast.
