Obverse lettering ELIZABETH II D•G•REGINA
(Translation: Elizabeth II Queen by the grace of God)
Reverse description The reverse depicts a dramatic scene of an orca (Orcinus orca) breaching from the water in a dynamic leaping pose, with a second orca's tail fluke visible at the left margin, evoking the natural habitat of Canada's Pacific coastal waters. A detailed background of coniferous forest and rocky shoreline rendered in fine engraving occupies the silver central field, while the surrounding border, denomination legend, and country name are finished in selective gold plating. The legend CANADA arcs across the upper border, and 10 DOLLARS appears along the lower border, both within the gilded frame. The date 2013 is inscribed in the right field, and the engraver's initials PL appear at lower left of the central design.
