| Obverse description | Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, portrayed at approximately 77 years of age, bareheaded, wearing a necklace and earrings, after the portrait by Susanna Blunt. The legend ELIZABETH II D•G•REGINA encircles the effigy, with the engraver's initials SB appearing below the truncation of the neck. The field is unadorned, presenting the bust in a dignified and restrained neoclassical style characteristic of contemporary Canadian coinage. |

| Reverse description | Two young Canada lynx cubs are depicted in a naturalistic woodland setting within the aluminium bronze centre, huddled closely together atop a rocky surface with coniferous foliage visible in the background. The engraver's initials CP (Christie Paquet) appear subtly in the lower left of the central field. The surrounding nickel ring bears the legends CANADA at the top and 2 DOLLARS at the bottom, with the date 2010 to the right and a small polar bear privy mark to the left. The bimetallic format creates a striking visual contrast between the golden centre and the silver-toned outer ring. |
