| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, depicted at approximately 77 years of age, bareheaded, wearing a necklace and drop earrings, as designed by Susan Taylor. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs above the portrait, with 'CANADA' to the upper left and the date '2007' to the lower right of the field. The portrait presents a mature, naturalistic rendering typical of the Dora de Pédery-Hunt successor portraits used on Canadian coinage of this era. |

| Reverse description | A female curler is depicted in dynamic delivery stance, releasing a curling stone across the ice, with a second figure visible in the background sweeping. The design is set against a stylized red-colored half maple leaf radiating outward in the field, providing a vivid patriotic backdrop rendered in applied color. The denomination '25 CENTS' appears in the upper left field, while the word 'VANCOUVER' is inscribed along the lower portion of the coin, and 'GG 2010' references the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. The composition by engraver Cecily Mok conveys motion and athleticism within the compact round flan. |
