| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing a pearl necklace and drop earrings, rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The portrait, engraved by Susan Taylor, presents the Queen in a mature likeness with elegantly styled hair. The circular legend is divided by the portrait, reading ELIZABETH II to the left and D•G•REGINA to the right. A fine beaded border encircles the entire design. |

| Reverse description | The classic Voyageur design, originally engraved by Emanuel Hahn, depicts a large birchbark canoe paddled by a French-Canadian voyageur in the stern and a Native figure in the bow, traversing a calm lake. A rocky islet bearing a windswept pine tree rises from the water at centre, with a loon perched at its top, while stylized northern lights fill the background. The engraver's initials EH appear in the lower left field near the waterline. The legend CANADA arcs across the upper field, with the date 2003 and denomination DOLLAR arranged across the lower field. A beaded border frames the entire composition. |
