| Obverse description | The obverse presents the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by engraver Susan Taylor, depicting the sovereign at approximately 77 years of age in right-facing profile. The bare-headed portrait shows the Queen adorned with a necklace and earrings, rendered in fine relief against an uncluttered field. The obverse legend arcs above the effigy reading ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA, affirming her title by the grace of God. The design conforms to the standard Royal Canadian Mint portrait specifications for this era of coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Canadian artist Dave Melnychuk, depicts a richly detailed Ukrainian Easter egg (pysanka) rendered in traditional folk-art style with applied colour. The dominant central motif is the bezkonechnyk, an unbroken meandering band symbolising eternity, encircling the egg's girth. Eight-pointed roses distributed across the design represent the heart and spiritual awareness, while star motifs evoke the illuminating power of the sun. Flanking bands incorporate plant-derived symbols and seed motifs evoking rejuvenation and rebirth, while undulating wave patterns along the outer edges serve as water symbols of fluidity and continuity. The reverse legend CANADA 20 DOLLARS 2020 is inscribed along the lower periphery. |
