| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth-effigy portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, facing right, wearing a diamond diadem and pearl earrings with a pearl necklace partially visible at the truncation. The effigy, engraved by Ago Aarand after Dora de Pédery-Hunt's design, is rendered in high relief with fine detail characteristic of the proof strike. The legend ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA arcs around the upper field, while the denomination 25 CENTS is inscribed in the lower field beneath the portrait. A fine beaded border encircles the entire design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a solitary figure on skis, shown in dynamic motion and viewed from behind, traversing a frozen waterway through a winter wilderness landscape. In the background, a treeline of conifers and a rocky shoreline evoke the Canadian boreal environment in the depth of winter. The bilingual inscription MARCH / MARS arcs across the upper field flanking the year 1999, rendered in prominent numerals at centre top, while CANADA is inscribed along the lower rim. The initials ML, for designer Stan Witten, appear in the lower right field. A beaded border frames the composition. |
