| Obverse description | The obverse bears the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as rendered by engraver Susan Taylor, portraying Her Majesty at approximately 77 years of age. The Queen faces right, bareheaded, wearing a necklace and drop earrings, presented as a mature and dignified portrait bust. The legend ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA arcs along the upper periphery of the field, affirming her title by the grace of God. The portrait is executed in fine relief consistent with the Royal Canadian Mint's commemorative coinage standards. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a large-scale, high-relief reproduction of G.E. Kruger Gray's celebrated maple leaf twig design, originally introduced on Canadian cent coinage in 1937 and featuring two maple leaves on a common twig. A faithful reproduction of the 2012 one-cent coin design is incorporated into the composition, forming the digit '0' within the date '2022', serving as a tribute to the discontinued Canadian penny. The legend 1 CENT and CANADA appear in the field alongside the date 2022, with the designer's initials K·G inscribed in reference to Kruger Gray's original artwork. |
