| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, depicting the monarch at approximately 77 years of age, bare-headed, wearing a necklace and drop earrings. The legend 'ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA' arcs along the upper rim, while the denomination '10 DOLLARS' appears in the lower field. The portrait is rendered in a refined, naturalistic style consistent with Blunt's fourth definitive effigy used on Canadian coinage from 2003 onward. |

| Reverse description | A full-colour photographic reproduction occupies nearly the entire reverse field, depicting a young grizzly bear cub resting in lush green foliage, its broad head lowered toward its outstretched front paws with prominent claws visible. The vibrant colourization technique renders the cub's brown and chestnut fur in naturalistic detail against a vivid green background of summer vegetation. To the right, a vertical banner in matte silver relief bears the country name 'CANADA' and the commemorative dates '1867' and '2017', marking the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation. The composition is framed by a standard reeded rim. |
