| Obverse description | The obverse bears the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by engraver Susan Taylor, depicting Her Majesty at approximately 77 years of age, bare-headed, wearing a necklace and earrings, facing right. The portrait is framed by a decorative maple leaf pattern in the field. The legend 'ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA' arcs along the upper periphery, accompanied by the denomination '200 DOLLARS'. A special commemorative marking displays the dual dates '1952' and '2022' separated by four pearls, symbolizing the four distinct royal effigies that graced Canadian coinage throughout Elizabeth II's reign. |

| Additional information |
Canada has issued gold $200 pieces continuously since 1990, but the bald eagle subject is an unusual choice for the Royal Canadian Mint — the species is the national bird of the United States, not Canada, though it nests widely across British Columbia and the Yukon. The RCM has long marketed wildlife gold to American collectors, and the selection here is plainly commercial rather than patriotic.
One of the final issues bearing Elizabeth II's name before the transition to Charles III across Canadian coinage following her death in September 2022.
