| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by engraver Susan Taylor, depicting a right-facing portrait of the Queen at approximately 77 years of age, uncrowned and bare-headed, adorned with a necklace and drop earrings. The legend ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA arcs along the upper periphery of the field, identifying the monarch by name and title in Latin. The portrait is rendered in fine relief against a polished field, consistent with the proof finish of the issue. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, large-format rendition of a bull moose's head and antlers in profile, adapted from renowned Canadian wildlife artist Robert Bateman's painting The Moose Family. The design, engraved by Stan Witten, captures the naturalistic texture of the moose's fur and the sweeping structure of its antlers in fine sculptural relief. The polished mirror field of the coin bears the inscription CANADA, the face value 250 DOLLARS, and the commemorative date range 1962–2012, marking the 50th anniversary of the Canadian Wildlife Federation. Robert Bateman's cursive facsimile signature appears in the field, serving as an artistic attribution integral to the design. |
