| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, depicting a mature right-facing portrait of the Queen at approximately 77 years of age, bare-headed, wearing a necklace and drop earrings. The legend ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA arcs along the upper periphery, with the denomination 20 DOLLARS inscribed along the lower field. The portrait is rendered in fine detail against a plain field, consistent with standard Royal Canadian Mint coinage of the era. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a vivid, colour-printed composition celebrating Canadian underwater and coastal wildlife. At the centre, a realistically rendered walrus is depicted within a three-dimensional water droplet motif. Surrounding this central vignette, the design incorporates an Atlantic/Arctic iceberg in the upper right, two Pacific walruses (bull and northern giant), ivory gulls soaring above the waterline, a northern bottlenose whale, a pair of beluga whales, a leatherback sea turtle, a grey whale, and a basking shark. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper periphery and the date 2017 appears in the lower field, framing the richly detailed maritime scene. |
