Obverse description The effigy of Queen Elizabeth II is depicted in right-facing profile, rendered as a mature portrait at approximately 77 years of age, bareheaded and uncrowned. The Queen is shown wearing a necklace and drop earrings, consistent with Susanna Blunt's fourth definitive portrait as adapted for Canadian coinage. The obverse legend encircles the effigy, reading 'ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA' above and '2017 20 DOLLARS' below, all executed in the field in Latin script.

Reverse description The reverse depicts two Atlantic starfish rendered in selective gold plating, shown resting on a rocky seabed in an underwater setting. The composition conveys depth and marine atmosphere, with the suggestion of a rugged coastal shoreline and a lighthouse visible in the background above the waterline. Fine engraving details capture the textured surface of the starfish arms and the surrounding aquatic environment. The word 'CANADA' appears as the primary legend, with the designer's initials 'TB' present in the field.
