| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing a pearl necklace and drop earrings, engraved in high relief by Susan Taylor. The portrait is a mature likeness of the Queen rendered in fine detail with softly styled hair. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left periphery and D•G•REGINA along the right, separated by the portrait. A beaded inner border frames the field, and the engraver's initials appear discreetly at the portrait's truncation. |

| Reverse description | The colorized reverse depicts a dramatic face-to-face encounter between Captain James Cook, shown in profile on the left in his naval uniform, and a Nuu-chah-nulth chief, shown on the right wearing a traditional woven cedar hat and fur-trimmed garment. Between them, a tall-masted sailing vessel — HMS Resolution — is depicted at sea, with a period cartographic outline of the Pacific Northwest coastline rendered in the background field. The entire composition is encircled by a detailed twisted rope border, with the legend CANADA 2018 arching across the upper field and DOLLAR inscribed along the lower periphery. The engraver's initials ML appear discreetly in the right mid-field. |
