| Obverse description | The obverse presents a tribute composition featuring all four official effigy portraits of Queen Elizabeth II as they appeared on Canadian coinage from 1953 onward, each facing right in succession. The effigies span the reigns from the youthful portrait by Mary Gillick through the mature likeness by Susanna Blunt. A Tudor rose device separates the commemorative dates flanking the central design, marking the years of Her Majesty's reign. The legend ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA arcs around the periphery in Latin script, accompanied by the dates 1952 and 2022 denoting the accession and Platinum Jubilee years. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Royal Canadian Mint's ongoing "Tribute" series, this issue commemorates Canadian women's service in the armed forces — a subject the RCM has returned to repeatedly since the series launched, with varying degrees of collector enthusiasm. The .9999 fine silver standard, finer than the traditional sterling or .999 used across most of the Mint's bullion output, has been a deliberate marketing differentiator for RCM collector issues since its adoption.
KM#3283 occupies a crowded corner of modern Canadian numismatics where commemorative output has consistently outpaced secondary market absorption.
