| Obverse description | The obverse presents the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by engraver Susan Taylor, depicting the monarch at approximately 77 years of age in right-facing profile. The bare-headed portrait shows the Queen adorned with a necklace and earrings, rendered with refined sculptural detail characteristic of her later coinage portraits. The surrounding legend reads ELIZABETH II D G REGINA, with CANADA appearing in the field. The effigy is set within a clean, unadorned field consistent with modern Royal Canadian Mint proof coin production. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a dramatic maritime scene designed by celebrated marine artist Yves Bérubé, depicting the Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker Louis S. St-Laurent navigating through ice-bound Arctic waters in a rescue operation. The composition conveys a sense of power and purpose, with the vessel rendered in fine detail against an evocative seascape, capturing both the historic significance and ongoing mission of the Canadian Coast Guard. The design commemorates the 50th anniversary of the service, spanning 1962 to 2012. The legend CANADIAN COAST GUARD / GARDE CÔTIÈRE CANADIENNE arcs around the design, with the commemorative dates flanking the central imagery. The denomination 20 DOLLARS and the country name CANADA are also inscribed in the field. |
