| Obverse description | Uncrowned right-facing effigy of King Charles III rendered in high relief, occupying the central field. The portrait, engraved by Steven Rosati, depicts the King in civilian dress with naturalistic detailing of the hair and facial features. The circumferential legend reads CHARLES III to the left, CANADA 2025 along the upper arc, and D·G·REX to the right, all in serif capitals. The denomination 20 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower arc. The engraver's initials SR appear discreetly below the truncation of the portrait. |

| Obverse lettering | CHARLES III CANADA 2025 D·G·REX 20 DOLLARS SR (Translation: Charles III, by the Grace of God, King) |
| Reverse description | The reverse presents an elaborately engraved sundial face as its central motif, featuring a richly detailed ground of acanthus scrollwork interspersed with cherub heads in the baroque tradition. Roman numerals VI through XII and I through VI arc around the circumference at regular hour intervals, flanking the ornate dial plate. Rising from a stylized sunflower base at the lower centre, a three-dimensional rhodium-plated brass gnomon is cast and applied to the coin surface, projecting outward to function as an actual timekeeping shadow-caster. The engraver's initials AB appear in the lower right field. The overall composition combines struck silver relief with the cast embellishment to create a striking mixed-media numismatic artwork. |
