| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, depicting the bare-headed portrait of the monarch at approximately 77 years of age, facing right, adorned with a necklace and earrings. The effigy is rendered in high relief against a smooth field. The encircling legend reads ELIZABETH II, CANADA, 2020, D•G•REGINA, and 100 DOLLARS, with D•G•REGINA being an abbreviation of the Latin Dei Gratia Regina, meaning 'Queen by the Grace of God.' |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents the historic armorial bearings of the Dominion of Canada as granted by Royal Warrant of Queen Victoria in 1868, based on the original pen-and-ink drawing by Sir Charles George Young, Garter King of Arms, incorporating amendments requested by the Duke of Buckingham. The quartered shield displays the arms of the original four provinces of Confederation: Ontario (the Cross of St. George with a sprig of three maple leaves), Quebec (two fleurs-de-lis, a lion passant guardant, and a sprig of three maple leaves), Nova Scotia (a salmon between three thistles), and New Brunswick (a lion passant guardant above an ancient galley). Selective gold plating highlights key heraldic elements, imparting a rich, multi-tonal appearance to the design. This rendering reflects the armorial bearings as they appeared from 1868 to 1921, prior to subsequent heraldic revisions to Canada's coat of arms. |
