| Obverse description | The fourth-generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, depicting the Queen in right-facing profile at approximately 77 years of age, bareheaded, wearing a necklace and drop earrings. The legend 'ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA' arcs along the upper border, rendered in Latin script. The portrait is rendered in fine relief against a flat field, consistent with the Blunt effigy adopted by the Royal Canadian Mint from 2003 onward. |

| Reverse description | A dramatic high-relief composition depicting two Grizzly Bears engaged in combat, rearing up and grappling with one another amid a rocky, forested shoreline. The scene is rendered with exceptional naturalistic detail, capturing the texture of fur, the musculature of the animals, and the surrounding rippling water and vegetation. The artist's initials 'LC' appear discretely within the design field. The legend 'CANADA' arcs along the upper border, while the denomination '20 DOLLARS' and the date '2016' are inscribed along the lower border in serif lettering. |
