| Obverse description | The obverse presents a gold-plated composite tribute design incorporating all four official effigies of Queen Elizabeth II that have appeared on Canadian coinage since 1953, each facing right in succession. A Tudor rose motif separates the regnal years within the field. The surrounding legend reads '1952 2022 ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA,' commemorating her seventy-year reign. The juxtaposition of the four portraits — by Gillick, Machin, dePedery-Hunt, and Susanna Blunt — offers a chronological survey of royal portraiture across seven decades. The gold-plated treatment lends the effigies a distinctive relief and luminous quality against the coin's field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the Royal Cypher of Queen Elizabeth II, rendered in high relief at the centre of the field, combining the monogram 'E II R' — standing for Elizabeth II Regina — surmounted by St. Edward's Crown. The cypher is framed by an ornate border of stylised gold beads and gem cluster motifs drawn from the adornments of St. Edward's Crown itself. Four larger decorative elements within this border symbolise the four successive effigies of the Queen that have graced Canadian coinage since 1953. The reverse legend reads 'E II R 200 DOLLARS CANADA,' with the denomination and country name positioned at the lower portion of the field. The overall composition is a formal, heraldic tribute to the Queen's decades of service. |
