| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II portrayed at approximately 64 years of age, after the portrait by Ago Aarand. The Queen is depicted wearing the George IV State Diadem, a necklace, and drop earrings. The legend encircles the portrait, reading 'ELIZABETH II D•G•REGINA' with the denomination '25 CENTS' also incorporated within the inscription. The relief is rendered in a restrained, naturalistic style characteristic of late twentieth-century Canadian coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicting 'The Log Drive,' a scene commemorating the March milestone of Canada's millennium series, showing loggers driving timber down a river — a motif emblematic of Canada's historic forestry and river-drive industry. The design is attributed to Stan Witten and occupies the primary field of the reverse. Surrounding the central composition, the country name 'CANADA' appears along with the bilingual date inscription 'MARCH 1999 MARS,' acknowledging both English and French, Canada's official languages. The mintmark 'ML' appears within the reverse legend. |
