| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, the fourth definitive portrait by engraver Susanna Blunt, depicting the Queen wearing a diamond diadem and a necklace. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left rim and D·G·REGINA along the right rim. The portrait is rendered in a naturalistic style with fine hair detail visible in the field. The overall design is uncluttered, with the bust occupying the central portion of the coin. |

| Reverse description | A full-body colourized depiction of Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai, a ceratopsian dinosaur native to what is now Alberta, Canada, rendered in naturalistic earth tones of brown, grey, and red. The dinosaur faces left and dominates the central field, with characteristic bony bosses on its skull rendered in vivid detail. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper rim, while 25 CENTS and 2012 appear along the lower rim in two lines. This coin is the first issue in the Royal Canadian Mint's prehistoric creatures series. The colourization technique gives the reverse a striking, lifelike appearance against the polished steel field. |
