| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as depicted at 77 years of age, bare-headed, wearing a necklace and earrings, after the portrait by Susanna Blunt. The obverse legend reads '250 DOLLARS · CANADA · ELIZABETH II · 2010' encircling the portrait, with the Vancouver 2010 Olympic logo also present in the field. The design conveys a refined, contemporary portrait style consistent with the fourth definitive Canadian effigy. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a highly stylised close-up rendering of an eagle's head executed in the formline tradition of Northwest Coast Indigenous art, engraved by Stan Witten. The bold, flowing silver lines of the eagle's beak, eye, and plumage are rendered in high relief against a deeply recessed, darkened field, creating a striking contrast characteristic of antique or selective oxidation finishing. The circular composition fills the entire reverse field, with the characteristic ovoid eye form, curved beak, and interlocking formline elements conveying power and cultural significance. No legend or inscription appears on the reverse. |
