| Obverse description | Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, rendered in Susanna Blunt's mature portrait with softly coiled hair and a delicate pearl necklace at the truncation. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs along the upper left field and 'D•G•REGINA' along the upper right, with the engraver's initials 'SB' visible at the bust truncation. The denomination '10 DOLLARS' is inscribed in bold relief along the lower periphery. The portrait is set against a deeply mirrored proof field, producing strong cameo contrast between the frosted effigy and the polished background. |

| Reverse description | Left-facing effigy of a young Queen Victoria, depicted in the style of her early reign, with hair swept smoothly back and secured in a braided chignon, and wearing a drop earring and a beaded necklace at the truncation. A delicate diadem or bandeau is visible across the crown of the head. Flanking the portrait on either side are ornate scrolling acanthus vine motifs interspersed with maple leaves in high relief, evoking both Victorian decorative tradition and Canadian national symbolism. The legend 'CANADA' arcs along the upper border of the field, while the commemorative dates '1819' and '2019' appear in two lines to the right of the effigy, marking the bicentennial of Queen Victoria's birth. |
