| Obverse description | The obverse features the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by sculptor Susan Taylor, depicting the monarch in mature portrait with styled hair, pearl earring, and pearl necklace. The bust is rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field, with the engraver's initials 'SB' (Susan Taylor's monogram) incused below the truncation. The circumferential legend reads 'ELIZABETH II D•G•REGINA' in raised Latin characters, with 'ELIZABETH II' arching along the upper left and 'D•G•REGINA' along the upper right. The design is framed by a continuous inner bead border, with a raised rim completing the periphery. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Alex Tirabasso, presents a deeply symbolic composition of three interlocking hands rendered in finely detailed high relief: two adult hands cradle the tiny clenched fist of an infant, evoking themes of family, protection, and generational continuity. The central motif is set within an inner beaded border, flanked on both sides by decorative maple leaf and scroll vignettes in the outer annulus. The legend 'CANADA' arches along the upper portion of the field above the inner border, with the date '2013' beneath it; the denomination '20 DOLLARS' is inscribed in the lower portion of the outer annulus. The engraver's initials 'LM' appear in the lower right of the inner field. |
