| Obverse description | The obverse features the uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, rendered in high relief with fine detail in the portrait's facial features and hair. The legend CHARLES III arcs along the left rim, while D·G·REX curves along the upper right, separated from the monarch's title by the field. The denomination 20 DOLLARS appears in the lower portion of the obverse field. The engraver's initials SR are incused below the truncation of the bust. The portrait was executed by Canadian sculptor Steven Rosati and is the official effigy adopted for Canadian coinage following Charles III's accession. |

| Reverse description | The reverse commemorates the centennial of the Royal Canadian Air Force (1924–2024) through a dynamic, multi-era composition of aircraft set against angular geometric shapes evoking speed and motion. At upper left, the Sopwith Camel biplane represents the First World War era and the RCAF's early years; at upper right, the iconic Supermarine Spitfire recalls RCAF squadrons' service in the Second World War. Dominating the foreground in a bold, modern rendering is the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter, symbolising the RCAF's future. The RCAF motto SIC ITUR AD ASTRA arcs near the top of the field, the date range 1924–2024 is inscribed centrally, and the RCAF roundel appears at the bottom centre. The legend CANADA is positioned along the upper rim, and the engraver's initials DMG appear in the field. |
