| Obverse description | The obverse features the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as an elderly sovereign, aged 77, rendered by engraver Susanna Blunt, facing right with bare head, adorned with a necklace and earrings. The portrait is superimposed over a stylized field of maple leaves, a distinctive compositional element unique to this issue. The peripheral legend reads '2018 ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA 30 DOLLARS', combining the date, royal name, and abbreviated Latin title affirming her role as Queen by the grace of God. The denomination '30 DOLLARS' appears as part of the obverse legend, conforming to the standard layout of Canadian collector issues of this period. |

| Additional information |
The Gardens of Canada series was part of the Royal Canadian Mint's broader push into the fine silver collector market during the 2010s, a period when the RCM aggressively expanded its themed numismatic programs to sustain collector revenue as bullion demand fluctuated. The $30 face value denomination was a deliberate positioning choice — high enough to signal premium status, low enough to keep the series accessible against the $50 and $100 issues competing for the same shelf space.
