| Obverse lettering | CANADA 2023 ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA 1952 2022 SB 20 DOLLARS (Translation: Elizabeth II, Queen by the grace of God) |
| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a striking Northwest Coast Indigenous-style design representing the dorsal fin of an orca whale, rendered in bold gold lines against a deeply contrasted black selective colour background. Characteristic formline art elements — ovoids, U-forms, and sweeping curved lines — interlock across the fan-shaped surface, evoking traditional Pacific Northwest artistic conventions. The composition is asymmetric and dynamic, with the fin's silhouette naturally following the contours of the puzzle-shaped flan. Gold plating highlights the raised design elements, creating a dramatic two-tone visual effect. This coin forms one piece of a larger multi-coin puzzle series depicting the orca. |
