| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, depicting the monarch in right-facing profile as a mature woman adorned with a necklace and drop earrings, her head uncrowned. The legend encircling the upper field reads ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA, with the engraver's initials SB and the date 2004 positioned in the lower field. The portrait is rendered in a restrained, classical style characteristic of circulation and commemorative issues of the early 2000s. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a vivid polychromatic depiction of the iconic Hopewell Rocks, the celebrated sea-sculpted sandstone formations of the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, Canada. The towering flower-pot rock formations are rendered in warm ochre and rust tones using selective colour application against a silver-finished background, with the calm tidal waters at their base occupying the lower field. A panoramic horizon line with additional rocky outcroppings is suggested in the upper background. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper rim, while the denomination 20 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower rim, flanking the central design. The engraver's initials SW appear discreetly within the design field. |
