| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II at approximately 77 years of age, depicted bareheaded and wearing a necklace and earrings, after the portrait by Susanna Blunt. The legend encircles the effigy along the coin's periphery, with the abbreviated royal title inscribed in Latin. The field is plain and unadorned, giving prominence to the portrait. |

| Reverse description | A dramatic color-enhanced depiction of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald battling treacherous conditions on Lake Superior on the night of November 10, 1975. The vessel's distinctive red and white bow is shown pitched against towering waves that crash across the heavily laden deck of the ore freighter. The scene conveys the ferocity of the storm through dynamic rendering of churning water and the struggling silhouette of the ship. An engraved outline of the Canadian shoreline of southeastern Lake Superior frames the composition. The denomination, country name, the engraver's initials JH, and the date appear in the lower portion of the reverse field. |
