| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, depicting a bare-headed portrait of the monarch facing right, wearing a necklace and drop earrings. The legend 'ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA' arcs along the upper periphery of the coin. The effigy captures the Queen at approximately 77 years of age, rendered in fine relief against a matte field. The design follows the standard Royal Canadian Mint obverse format adopted in 2003. |

Part of the RCM's ongoing Wildlife series, this issue belongs to a program that has consistently sold out on release, driven largely by the American bullion market rather than domestic demand. The cougar — extirpated from most of eastern Canada by the early twentieth century — remains a contentious wildlife subject; Environment Canada's designation of the eastern cougar as extinct in 2018 added retrospective weight to its appearance in this series.
