| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by sculptor Susanna Blunt, depicting the Queen in right-facing profile at approximately 77 years of age, bareheaded, wearing a necklace and drop earrings. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail in the hair and facial features, characteristic of the Blunt effigy adopted by the Royal Canadian Mint from 2003. The legend 'ELIZABETH II D•G•REGINA' arcs along the upper periphery of the field, identifying the sovereign by name and royal title. |

| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces Lawren S. Harris's celebrated painting 'Toronto Street, Winter Morning' (1920), rendered by Royal Canadian Mint engravers in fine detail on the coin's surface. The composition depicts a quiet urban streetscape in winter, with snow-covered ground, bare trees, and the characteristic geometric architectural forms associated with the Group of Seven's early urban realism. The design is framed within the circular field of the coin, preserving the tonal contrasts and atmospheric quality of Harris's original work. The legend 'CANADA • 20 DOLLARS • 2013 • LAWREN S. HARRIS •' is inscribed along the lower periphery, crediting both the issuing authority and the original artist. |
