| Obverse description | The diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II faces right, rendered in high relief after the portrait by Dora de Pédery-Hunt. The Queen is depicted wearing the royal diadem, a necklace, and earrings. The encircling legend reads 'ELIZABETH II D•G•REGINA' with the denomination '25 CENTS' positioned in the lower field. The portrait reflects the Queen's mature likeness as adopted on Canadian coinage from 1990. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a vignette entitled 'Les Voyageurs,' depicting fur-trade canoeists paddling across open water, evoking the era of exploration and the development of Canada's inland waterways. The design, by Suzanne Duranceau, captures the silhouettes of voyageurs in a laden birchbark canoe set against a dramatic sky. The bilingual date 'MAY 1999 MAI' is inscribed prominently within the design, with the national legend 'CANADA' completing the reverse legend. The mintmark 'SM' for the Sainte-Marie commemorative series appears in the field. This coin forms part of the twelve-coin millennium series celebrating the months of 1999. |
