| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Dora de Pédery-Hunt, depicting the Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara and a pearl necklace. The legend ELIZABETH II flanks the portrait to the upper left and D•G•REGINA to the upper right, both arranged along the coin's periphery. The date 1994 appears in the lower field beneath the portrait. The effigy is rendered in high relief with fine detail to the facial features, crown, and jewelry, characteristic of de Pédery-Hunt's artistic style. |

| Reverse description | Two sea otters, an adult and a pup, are depicted floating on their backs on the water's surface, with the pup resting on the adult's chest in a tender naturalistic composition by Susan Taylor. Stylized horizontal lines suggest calm ocean water in the mid and lower field, while the upper field features faint cloud-like horizon lines. The legend CANADA arcs across the upper periphery, and the denomination 150 DOLLARS is inscribed in two lines across the lower field. The design is rendered in high relief with fine sculptural detail to the animals' fur, capturing the characteristic behavior of sea otters in their natural habitat. |
