| Reverse description | A detailed frontal portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Imperial State Crown and a pearl necklace, rendered in high relief against a matte field. The effigy captures the Queen in a formal regal manner, with elaborate crown detailing including the cross pattée, orb, and jewelled arches fully rendered. Flanking the central portrait are decorative sprays of flora symbolising the nations of the Commonwealth, including Scottish thistles, English Tudor roses, and Canadian maple leaves. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper left and the denomination 20 DOLLARS arcs to the upper right, with the engraver's initials LM inscribed in the lower left field. |

| Additional information |
Issued in the final months of Elizabeth II's life, this piece was released while she was still reigning — she died in September 2022 before the year's commemorative program had concluded. The Royal Canadian Mint had been producing tribute issues for decades, but this one sits in an awkward historical position: a tribute coin struck for a living monarch who would not survive the year it was dated.
