Obverse description	The obverse is printed in shades of terra cotta and brown, centred on an intaglio portrait of Queen Elizabeth II facing three-quarters right, wearing a pearl necklace and evening dress. To the left, a large guilloche-framed numeral '2' is superimposed over a vignette of the Centre Block of the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, flanked by the bilingual inscriptions 'BANQUE DU CANADA' and 'BANK OF CANADA'. The lower margin carries the denomination in English and French — 'TWO DOLLARS · DEUX' — along with the place and date of issue 'OTTAWA 1986' at lower right and two facsimile signature panels.

Reverse description	The reverse is executed in muted olive, brown and mauve tones, with the word 'CANADA' rendered in large pale letterpress across the full width of the note as an underprint. Within a central rectangular vignette, two American Robins (Merle d'Amérique) are illustrated in fine intaglio — one perched upright, one resting — amid grass and a distant landscape. The numeral '2' appears in large format at both left and right margins, and the serial number is printed twice in the lower margin.
