| Obverse description | The obverse features the mature effigy of Queen Elizabeth II in right-facing profile, as sculpted by Susan Taylor, wearing a diamond diadem, drop earring, and pearl necklace. The portrait occupies the central field of the dodecagonal-edged flan, rendered with fine frosted relief against a deeply mirrored proof background. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '10 DOLLARS' and the date '2012' are inscribed along the lower arc, separated by the portrait. The engraver's initials 'ST' appear discreetly on the truncation of the bust. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, engraved by Stan Witten, displays a naturalistic composition of three overlapping sugar maple leaves (Acer saccharum) rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field, their finely detailed lobes and veins highlighted by frosted surfaces. The legend 'CANADA' arcs prominently across the upper border, with the commemorative date range '2007-2012' inscribed in smaller characters just below. The purity designation '9999' appears flanking the central design on both left and right, while the lower legend reads 'FINE GOLD 1/4 OZ OR PUR', asserting the coin's one-quarter troy ounce gold content in both English and French. The engraver's initials 'SW' are present in the lower right field near the leaf stems. |
