| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, depicting the monarch in right-facing profile at approximately 77 years of age, uncrowned, wearing a necklace and drop earrings. The portrait is rendered in a restrained, classical style consistent with Canadian coinage of the period. The legend 'ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA' arcs along the upper periphery of the field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vibrant full-color underwater tidal pool scene dominated by a rich array of marine flora and fauna, including orange sea anemones, red and brown corals, and green seaweed rendered in detailed polychrome color printing against the mirrored silver field. At center, a domed crystal glass embellishment encapsulates a miniature sculpted orange sea star (starfish), creating a striking three-dimensional lenticular effect. The denomination '20 DOLLARS' and date '2017' arc along the upper legend, while 'CANADA' appears along the lower periphery; the engraver's initials 'MG' are visible in the right field. The overall composition exemplifies the Royal Canadian Mint's signature use of applied crystal and color printing technology in its commemorative series. |
