| Opschrift voorzijde | ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA (Translation: Elizabeth II Queen by the grace of God) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | A finely detailed and coloured historical scene depicting the steamship SS Beaver as she would have appeared circa 1836, rendered in vibrant painted enamels against a polished gold field. The vessel is shown approaching a quayside where two workers await her arrival amid stacked supplies, evoking the atmosphere of early Pacific maritime trade in British Columbia. The composition is framed by the legend CANADA 200 DOLLARS 2011 along the periphery, with the initials JM identifying the reverse designer. A unique laser effect enhances the reverse design on the Proof issue, adding depth and luminosity to the scene. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The SS Beaver holds a specific place in Pacific Northwest history as the first steam-powered vessel to operate on the west coast of North America, arriving in 1836 and working Hudson's Bay Company trade routes for over five decades. She ran aground near the entrance to Burrard Inlet in 1888 and spent four years breaking apart on the rocks before finally sinking — salvagers stripped her so thoroughly that fragments of her hull became collectible relics within years of her wrecking.
The 22-karat alloy used here is the traditional crown gold standard, unchanged from Tudor-era English coinage.
