| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as portrayed at age 77, depicting a bare-headed bust with necklace and earrings, executed in the fourth definitive portrait style. The legend ELIZABETH II CANADA D•G•REGINA arcs around the upper field, affirming her title as Queen by the Grace of God. The portrait is rendered in fine relief against a smooth field characteristic of proof-quality Royal Canadian Mint coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a maple-leaf-shaped flan struck in high relief and enhanced with vivid autumn coloration, transitioning from deep crimson at the lobes through amber and golden tones toward the central vein, faithfully reproducing the hues of a Canadian sugar maple leaf in fall. Finely engraved leaf venation details cover the entire surface, adding naturalistic texture. A scroll-shaped uncolored silver banner across the lower central field bears the denomination 20 DOLLARS in bold relief, with the date 2016 inscribed on a secondary tablet immediately below, flanked on each side by a small uncolored maple leaf motif. The mint engraver's initials MG appear in the lower right field. |
