| Obverse description | The obverse bears the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as rendered by engraver Susan Taylor, depicting the Queen at approximately 77 years of age in right-facing profile, bareheaded, adorned with a necklace and earrings. The portrait is rendered in a mature, refined style consistent with the Royal Canadian Mint's late-era Elizabeth II coinage. The peripheral legend reads ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA, invoking the Latin formula Dei Gratia Regina, with the denomination 10 DOLLARS inscribed within the legend. |

| Additional information |
The Winnipeg Jets name returned to the NHL in 2011 when the Atlanta Thrashers relocated north — the original Jets having departed for Phoenix in 1996, a move that left the city without professional hockey for fifteen years. This coin belongs to the Royal Canadian Mint's "Learning to Play" series, which paired NHL team branding with the nostalgic imagery of recreational hockey to capitalize on the sport's cultural weight in Canada.
The .9999 fine silver specification places it among the Mint's higher-purity collector issues of the period.
