| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, depicting the monarch in mature portrait with pearl necklace and earring, her hair styled in a characteristic coiffure. The legend ELIZABETH II is inscribed along the left field and D·G·REGINA along the right field. A fine beaded inner border encircles the portrait, set within a polished proof field. The effigy is rendered in high relief against a frosted background, characteristic of Royal Canadian Mint proof coinage. |

| Additional information |
Part of the RCM's ongoing "景色之美" — translated loosely as "Scenic Relief" — series, this issue uses a selective gold plating and colorization technique the mint developed in the early 2000s and has since applied across dozens of collector-targeted releases. Cranberry Lake itself sits in Ontario's Muskoka region, long associated with Canadian cottage culture rather than any particular historical or political event. The .9999 fineness is atypical for circulation silver but standard across this collector series, chosen for die sharpness rather than any metallurgical necessity.
