| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, depicting a bare-headed portrait of the Queen facing right, with necklace and earrings, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The square central hole is flanked on each side by a phoenix in relief, rendered in a style drawing on East Asian artistic tradition. The legend ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA arcs along the upper periphery of the field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed tiger striding left and a dragon rearing right, the two creatures symmetrically disposed about the central square aperture in a composition evoking the classic Yin and Yang duality. A Yin Yang (taijitu) symbol is rendered above the hole, uniting the two figures thematically. The denomination 200 DOLLARS and the country name CANADA appear in the lower field alongside the date 2016, while the privy mark CV identifies the coin's series. The overall design is executed in high relief with strong contrasting textures between the smooth field and the intricately engraved creatures. |
