| Obverse lettering | CHARLES III D·G·REX 2024 SR (Translation: Charles III, by the Grace of God, King) |
| Reverse description | The reverse celebrates the centennial of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), spanning the years 1924 to 2024. The brass-plated inner core features the colourized RCAF roundel prominently above a stylized depiction of the CC-130 Hercules transport aircraft shown in an upward-climbing attitude, a visual allusion to the RCAF motto 'Sic itur ad astra' (Such is the pathway to the stars); the commemorative double dates '1924 2024' are inscribed within the core. The outer nickel-plated steel ring is engraved with eight aircraft representing the RCAF's history, arranged symmetrically: on the left, from top to bottom, the Finch Mk. II, CSR-123 Otter, F-86 Sabre Mk. 6, and CF-100 Canuck Mk. 5; on the right, from top to bottom, the CT-114 Tutor, CC-115 Buffalo, CF-188 Hornet, and CH-146 Griffon helicopter. The legend 'CANADA 2 DOLLARS' appears on the outer ring, with the engraver's initials 'PYF' also present. |
