| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as an elderly sovereign, designed by Susanna Blunt, depicting a bare-headed right-facing portrait of the Queen at approximately 77 years of age, wearing a necklace and drop earrings. The legend ELIZABETH II D•G•REGINA arcs along the upper periphery, with the date 2022 positioned in the lower field. The initials SB appear on the truncation of the effigy. The design is rendered in a refined, naturalistic style consistent with Canadian circulation coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Canadian artist Chris Gorey, commemorates the 175th anniversary of the birth of Alexander Graham Bell (1847–1922). A formal portrait of Bell in his later years occupies the central field, accompanied by a facsimile reproduction of his signature rendered in cursive script. Schematic illustrations of two historic aircraft and watercraft associated with Bell's Nova Scotia research — the Silver Dart biplane and the record-setting HD-4 hydrofoil — flank the portrait as technical line drawings. Stylised waves in the lower field, highlighted in selective blue colouring, represent Bras d'Or Lake, the site of both craft's historic achievements. The legends CANADA DOLLAR, ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL, and 175 YEARS/ANS appear within the field, with the artist's initials CG located in the lower right. |
