| Obverse description | The mature effigy of Queen Elizabeth II faces right, portrayed at approximately 64 years of age after Dora de Pédery-Hunt's celebrated portrait. The Queen is depicted wearing the George IV State Diadem, a pearl necklace, and drop earrings. The encircling legend reads ELIZABETH II D•G•REGINA, denoting her title by the Grace of God. The relief is finely modeled in the refined style characteristic of de Pédery-Hunt's numismatic work for Canada. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts an elderly couple standing together beneath the canopy of two large deciduous trees, their leafy branches arching gracefully across the upper field to frame the central scene. The man, shown with a walking stick, and the woman, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and skirt, face one another in a tender pose evoking companionship and dignity in old age. The composition is encircled by a flowing arrangement of leafy branches, reinforcing the naturalistic theme. The engraver's initials appear in the lower right field. The legend CANADA 1999 DOLLAR curves along the lower rim. |
