| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, depicting the Queen in right-facing profile at approximately 77 years of age, uncrowned and unadorned save for a necklace and earrings. The portrait is rendered in fine relief against a flat field. The legend ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA arcs along the upper periphery, with the denomination and issuer distributed around the lower portion in standard Royal Canadian Mint fashion. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, finely engraved scene depicting a early 20th-century steam locomotive in full motion, billowing a dramatic plume of smoke and steam, as it crosses the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway bridge over the South Saskatchewan River at Saskatoon. The steel truss bridge is rendered with precise technical accuracy, its latticed girders and stone piers reflected subtly in the water below. Foliage occupies the lower foreground, lending depth and naturalism to the composition. The legend CANADA · 30 DOLLARS arcs along the upper border, the date 2014 appears in the lower field, and the engraver's initials JK are inscribed at lower right. |
