| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after Susanna Blunt's mature portrait, depicting the Queen bare-headed with styled hair, pearl drop earring, and pearl necklace. The engraver's initials 'SB' appear at the base of the truncation. The circumferential legend reads 'ELIZABETH II' to the left and 'D.G.REGINA' to the right, separated by raised dots. The regnal dates '1952' and '2022' flanked by three decorative dots appear to the left of the effigy, commemorating her 70-year reign, while the issue year '2023' is inscribed at the base of the field. |

Issued in 2023, this piece occupies a genuinely unusual moment in Canadian numismatic history: struck after Elizabeth II's death in September 2022 but denominated under her authority, while simultaneously bearing Charles III's royal cypher — a transitional arrangement reflecting the lag between a sovereign's death and the full retooling of a mint's production infrastructure. Canada was slower than some Commonwealth nations to introduce Charles III portraiture coinage, making crossover issues like this one a brief and specific artifact of that institutional delay.
