| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susan Taylor occupies the central field, depicting the monarch with an elaborate coiffure and pearl earring in a naturalistic, mature portrait style. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left rim, while D•G•REGINA arcs along the right rim. The denomination 2500 DOLLARS appears across the upper field, and the date 2014 is inscribed along the lower field beneath the portrait. The design is rendered in high relief characteristic of proof coinage on a polished field. |

| Reverse description | A bold, high-relief sculptural depiction of a rearing horse dominates the central field, rendered in a dynamic pose with one foreleg raised and mane flowing to the right, evoking the traditional Chinese artistic representation associated with the Lunar Year of the Horse. The Chinese character 馬 (horse) appears to the left of the animal in the field. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper left rim. A decorative border of repeating Chinese key-fret meander pattern frames the entire design along the periphery. The engraver's initials CRR appear in the lower right field. |
