| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by engraver Susan Taylor, depicting the Queen in right-facing portrait at approximately 77 years of age, bareheaded, wearing a necklace and earrings. The legend ELIZABETH II D•G•REGINA arcs along the upper periphery, with the denomination 2 DOLLARS inscribed in the lower field. The initials SB appear near the truncation of the effigy, attributing the portrait to sculptor Susanna Blunt. |

| Additional information |
The "SML" designation refers to the Royal Canadian Mint's Shiny Maple Leaf finish, a highly polished proof-like surface applied to fractional sets issued in the mid-2010s as the RCM aggressively expanded its bullion and collector product lines. The 2015 fractional silver maple set comprised five coins ranging from one-twentieth to one ounce, all struck in .9999 fine silver — a purity standard Canada had pioneered for its bullion maple series since 1988.
Each coin in the set carries legal tender status under the Currency Act, though the $2 face value bears no relationship to intrinsic or market worth.
