| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by sculptor Susan Taylor, depicting the monarch at approximately 77 years of age in right-facing profile. The bare-headed portrait shows Her Majesty wearing a necklace and drop earrings, rendered in a refined and naturalistic style. The legend ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA arcs along the upper periphery of the coin, identifying the Queen by name and by the grace of God. The field is clean and unadorned, allowing the portrait to command visual authority within the hendecagonal format. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic aerial composition of a Snow Goose (Anser caerulescens) captured at the moment of landing, its broad wings swept forward and downward as it descends toward a lake below, designed by Derek C. Wicks. The bird's plumage and outstretched primary feathers are rendered with fine engraved detail, conveying both motion and naturalistic accuracy. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper border, with the denomination DOLLAR and the date 2017 positioned in the lower field, flanked by the engraver's initials DCW. The composition effectively captures the grace and power of one of Canada's iconic migratory waterfowl. |
