| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, rendered in the second portrait as modelled by Patrick Brindley after Arnold Machin. The Queen is depicted with softly styled hair and a draped neckline, the bust truncated at the shoulder. The circumferential legend reads ELIZABETH II to the left and D·G·REGINA to the right, all within a continuous inner border of raised beads. |

| Reverse description | A common loon (Gavia immer) floats serenely on a calm lake, facing right, its distinctive plumage rendered in fine detail with careful engraving of the wing and body feathers. In the left middle ground, a rocky shoreline rises from the water, crowned by a stand of stylized conifers evoking the Canadian wilderness. The designer's initials RRC appear to the right of the bird in the field. The upper legend CANADA arcs around the top, while DOLLAR curves along the lower arc, with the date centred below the central design, all contained within an inner bead border. |
