| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II depicted at approximately 37 years of age, wearing a diamond tiara and pearl drop earrings, rendered in high relief after the Arnold Machin portrait. The legend ELIZABETH II flanks the upper field, with CANADA and the date 1987 inscribed below the effigy. The portrait is modeled with fine drapery detail at the shoulder, consistent with the standard Machin effigy used on Canadian coinage of this period. |
