| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, depicted at approximately 77 years of age, bare-headed and uncrowned, wearing a necklace and drop earrings, as sculpted by Susan Taylor. The legend ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA arcs above the portrait within the coin's field, with the engraver's initials appearing at the truncation. The portrait is rendered in a refined, contemporary style befitting a specimen-quality strike. |

The legend CANADA arcs across the upper field, while DOLLAR is inscribed along the lower arc; the date 2011 appears to the right of the central motif, and the engraver's initials AN are visible in the lower right field. |
