| Obverse description | The obverse bears a contemporary effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as envisioned at 77 years of age, designed by engraver Susan Taylor. The bare-headed portrait faces right, depicting the Queen adorned with a necklace and earrings in a dignified and naturalistic style. The surrounding legend reads ELIZABETH II CANADA 2020 D·G·REGINA 250 DOLLARS, with the abbreviated Latin title denoting her royal title by the grace of God. The effigy occupies the central field of this large-format silver coin, framed by the inscriptions in a clean, modern presentation consistent with the Royal Canadian Mint's commemorative series. |

| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces the historic Seven Provinces Shield of Canada as used from the 1870s into the early twentieth century, rendered in exacting detail on this large-format kilo silver coin. The shield is surmounted by a stylized royal crown and quarters the coats of arms of the four Confederation founding provinces — Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia — together with those of Manitoba, British Columbia, and Prince Edward Island. A beaver, a traditional Canadian heraldic symbol, is positioned beneath the shield, accompanied by a ribbon bearing the bilingual inscription DOMINION OF / DU CANADA. Flanking the central composition on either side, within individual laurel wreaths, appear the separate provincial shields: Ontario and Nova Scotia to the left, Quebec and New Brunswick to the right. The mintmark CBS appears in the lower field. |
