| Obverse lettering | ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA SB (Translation: Elizabeth II Queen by the grace of God) |
| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylized rendering of an orca whale in the spy-hopping posture, executed in the distinctive formline style of Northwest Coast Indigenous art. The design, by Cecily Mok, presents the whale's elongated body rising vertically through the field, rendered with bold ovoid and U-form elements characteristic of Pacific Northwest Indigenous artistic tradition. The upper arc of the coin bears the legend 'CANADA · 2011' and the denomination '10 DOLLARS' appears in the lower field beneath the central motif. The proof finish highlights the intricate interplay of polished and frosted surfaces across the design. |
