| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features the fourth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, a mature right-facing diademed and draped bust designed by Susanna Blunt, wearing a pearl necklace and drop earring. The legend ELIZABETH II is inscribed along the left arc of the coin, while D·G·REGINA arcs along the right, both in raised Latin lettering. A beaded inner border encircles the portrait against a mirror-polished field. The engraver's initials SB appear discreetly below the bust truncation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "first French settlement in America" commemorated here is Île Sainte-Croix, the disastrous 1604 winter camp established by de Monts and Champlain on a small island in the St. Croix River — now the Maine-New Brunswick border. Of the 79 men who stayed through that winter, 35 died of scurvy before spring. The survivors abandoned the site the following year for Port-Royal, across the Bay of Fundy.
The 400th anniversary fell simultaneously on both sides of a modern international border, which gave the issue unusual binational significance for a Canadian commemorative.
