| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, pearl drop earrings, and a pearl necklace, as modelled by Dora de Pédery-Hunt. The effigy is rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The legend arcs around the periphery, reading '200 DOLLARS' at the lower left, 'CANADA' at the upper centre, '1999' at the upper right, and 'ELIZABETH II' along the right side, all separated by raised dots. |

| Reverse description | A stylised Mi'kmaq butterfly motif occupies the central field, rendered in a flowing, curvilinear design with intricate scroll work and fine surface texturing against a deeply mirrored proof background. Six-pointed star symbols are positioned symmetrically in the inner field, flanking the butterfly. The design is framed by a broad decorative border composed of traditional Mi'kmaq geometric patterning, including diamond, triangle, and chevron elements in high relief. A small sprig appears at the lower left of the inner circle, and the engraver's initials 'A.S.' are inscribed at the lower left of the inner border. |
