| Obverse description | The obverse presents the fourth and final effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as used on Canadian coinage, designed by engraver Susan Taylor. The right-facing bust of the Queen is depicted at approximately 77 years of age, uncrowned, wearing a necklace and drop earrings. The peripheral legend reads ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA CANADA, with the denomination 3 DOLLARS and the date 2020 also inscribed in the field. The portrait is rendered in a refined, realistic style consistent with Royal Canadian Mint standards for non-circulating commemorative issues. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Canadian artist Lisa Thomson-Khan, features a vivid color-printed portrait of the pitcher plant (Sarracenia purpurea), the official floral emblem of Newfoundland and Labrador, rendered in naturalistic botanical detail with deep purplish-red tones. The distinctive tubular, pitcher-shaped leaves and nodding flower of the carnivorous plant are prominently displayed at center. The main floral motif is surrounded by a stylized, engraved floral and foliate border pattern that frames the composition. The artist's initials LT appear discreetly in the design. The overall composition celebrates the provincial identity of Newfoundland and Labrador through its iconic flora. |
