| 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 sovereign at 77 years of age, bare-headed and uncrowned. The Queen is portrayed wearing a necklace and drop earrings, rendered in fine relief against a flat field. The legend 'ELIZABETH II D•G•REGINA' arcs along the upper periphery in Latin script, affirming her title by divine grace. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed and naturalistic depiction of a rainbow trout leaping dynamically through the water, its spotted, muscular body rendered in fine relief with exceptional artistry. The fish is shown at an upward angle, with its characteristic speckled flanks, dorsal fin, and forked tail crisply struck. A rocky riverbed and aquatic environment are suggested in the background, with subtle texturing evoking underwater scenery. The engraver's initials 'C.A.' appear in the lower left field. The legend 'CANADA 2015' arcs along the upper rim, while '20 DOLLARS' is inscribed along the lower periphery in bold sans-serif lettering. |
