| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth-generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susan Taylor, depicting the Queen at approximately 77 years of age with a bare head, wearing a necklace and drop earrings, facing right. The legend ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA encircles the portrait, with the engraver's initials flanking the truncation of the bust. The design is rendered in a refined, naturalistic style characteristic of Taylor's portrait work for the Royal Canadian Mint. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Robert-Ralph Carmichael, depicts a dramatic scene from the D-Day landings of June 6, 1944, showing Allied soldiers disembarking from a military landing craft under fire. In the foreground, a soldier steadies a comrade gripping a rifle as they wade onto the beach, conveying the tension and camaraderie of the historic assault. Selective gold gilding highlights key elements of the composition, enhancing the visual impact of the scene. The legend CANADA DOLLAR frames the design alongside the commemorative dates 1944 and 2019, with Morse code dashes and dots forming a decorative border referencing wartime communications. |
