| Obverse description | The effigy of Queen Elizabeth II is depicted in right-facing profile, rendered as a mature portrait at approximately 77 years of age, bare-headed and wearing a necklace and earrings. The legend encircling the field reads ELIZABETH II, flanked by the denomination 15 DOLLARS and the issuer CANADA, with the date 2017. The portrait, engraved by Susan Taylor, presents a detailed and dignified likeness in the tradition of the Royal Canadian Mint's late-reign coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a highly detailed, finely engraved depiction of a rooster rendered in the Chinese brush-painting tradition, set against a mirror-polished proof field. The rooster is shown in three-quarter view, facing left with its beak open, its plumage rendered with intricate individual feather detailing across the breast, wings, and tail. Sweeping tail feathers arc dramatically toward the upper right, while the lower field is occupied by a bed of finely engraved lotus blossoms and buds, characteristic of the Lunar Lotus series design. The Chinese character 雞 (rooster) appears in the upper left field, and the engraver's initials CRR are inscribed at the lower left. The scalloped lotus-shaped flan frames the entire composition. |
