| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, sculpted by Susanna Blunt, depicting the monarch in right-facing profile at approximately 77 years of age, bareheaded and uncrowned, wearing a pendant necklace and drop earrings. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs above the portrait, while the denomination 20 DOLLARS and the date 2022 are inscribed in the lower field. The design is rendered in ultra-high relief, with a peak relief height of 1.4 mm, set against a frosted background field that contrasts with the mirror-like finish of the raised elements. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features the iconic stylized maple leaf design, struck in ultra-high relief to a peak height of 1.4 mm, achieved through a specially engineered coin blank that preserves the standard 1 oz. precious metal content. The maple leaf motif is rendered with exceptional sculptural depth, its raised surfaces carrying a brilliant mirror-like finish that maximises light reflection against the surrounding frosted field. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper periphery, while the purity and weight inscriptions 9999 FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR appear in the lower field, incorporating the repeated fineness marker 9999. This piece represents the Royal Canadian Mint's first ultra-high relief Silver Maple Leaf issue. |
