| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, portrayed at approximately 64 years of age, wearing the George IV State Diadem, a necklace, and drop earrings, as modelled by Dora de Pédery-Hunt. The legend encircles the portrait, reading ELIZABETH II D•G•REGINA at the upper periphery and 25 CENTS along the lower periphery. The truncation of the bust is clean, and the overall composition is typical of the fourth definitive portrait used on Canadian coinage from 1990 onward. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a design entitled 'A Nation of People,' created by artist MHS, in which six stylized human figures are rendered using a single continuous flowing line, collectively symbolising the core values of Canadian society: law and order, learning, teaching, the arts, the love of nature, and sports. The figures are arranged in a circular composition within the coin's field. The legend CANADA appears along the upper periphery, while the bilingual date inscription JULY 1999 JUILLET is positioned in the lower portion of the field, affirming this coin's role as one of twelve monthly millennium commemoratives issued in 1999. |
