Obverse description	Effigy of King Charles III facing left, occupying the bimetallic centre, rendered in a restrained, contemporary portrait style. The king is depicted in civilian dress without a crown or diadem, consistent with the standard Canadian coinage portrait. The engraver's initials 'SB' appear in the lower field of the inner disc. The outer ring bears the legend 'CHARLES III' to the left and 'D·G·REX' to the right, with the date '2026' positioned at the base of the ring.

Reverse description	The reverse commemorates the 50th anniversary of the opening of the CN Tower on June 26, 1976. The colourized inner core depicts the CN Tower rising above Lake Ontario against the contemporary Toronto skyline, with a ghost outline of the 1976 cityscape subtly integrated at the base; when the photo-luminescent feature is activated, the scene transitions to an illuminated night view of the tower and skyline. The outer ring bears silhouetted architectural profiles representing Toronto's skyline evolution, with the 1976 cityscape to the left and the 2026 cityscape to the right. The inscriptions '50 YEARS ANS' and 'LA TOUR CN TOWER' appear on the inner disc, while 'CANADA 2 DOLLARS' is inscribed on the outer ring. The mint mark 'CW' denotes the Winnipeg facility.
