| Obverse description | The obverse presents the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as executed by engraver Susan Taylor, depicting the Queen at approximately 77 years of age in a right-facing portrait with bare head, wearing a necklace and drop earrings. The legend ELIZABETH II and D·G·REGINA arc around the upper and lower fields respectively, with CANADA and the date 2020 positioned to the sides, and the denomination 3 DOLLARS inscribed within the design. The portrait reflects a mature and dignified likeness consistent with Taylor's official effigy used on Canadian coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Canadian artist Lisa Thomson-Khan, features a vivid color-applied depiction of the pitcher plant (Sarracenia purpurea), the official floral emblem of Newfoundland and Labrador, rendered in rich purples, greens, and reds. The carnivorous plant is shown in naturalistic detail, with its distinctive tubular, hooded pitchers and a single nodding bloom, set against a stylized and symmetrical floral border pattern that frames the central motif. The artist's initials LT appear as a small inscription within the field. The overall design celebrates the provincial flora of Newfoundland and Labrador as part of the Royal Canadian Mint's floral emblem series. |
