| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, portrayed at approximately 77 years of age, bare-headed and uncrowned, wearing a necklace and drop earrings, as executed by engraver Susan Taylor. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a polished field, with fine detail in the hair and facial features characteristic of Taylor's mature effigy. The obverse legend arcs around the upper periphery and continues below, incorporating the monarch's name, royal title in Latin, the date, and the denomination. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a highly detailed, deeply struck rendition of the legendary Kraken — a colossal cephalopod monster of Norse maritime mythology — rising from stylised ocean waves and enveloping a sailing vessel with its massive tentacles. The creature is shown frontally, its mantle prominent at the apex of the design, with multiple sinuous arms grasping and crushing the hapless ship below. A small maple leaf privy mark appears in the upper left field. The fineness indicator '9999' is inscribed within the wave zone at the lower centre, while the bilingual legend encircles the composition along the periphery. |
