| Obverse description | The obverse bears the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as depicted by engraver Susan Taylor, portraying the Queen at approximately 77 years of age with bare head, wearing a necklace and earrings, facing right. The legend 'ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA' arcs along the upper periphery of the field in Latin script. The portrait is rendered in a refined, contemporary style consistent with the numismatic conventions established for Canadian coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a vivid full-colour photographic rendering of Mount Rundle, located in Banff National Park, Alberta, enclosed within a bold hexagonal frame set against the coin's polished silver field. The composition captures the snow-capped peak rising dramatically above a tranquil foreground lake, whose still waters reflect the mountain and sky in near-perfect symmetry, evoking the celebrated landscape photography style that inspired the series. The artist's signature monogram appears within the lower right quadrant of the image. The legends 'CANADA' and '30 DOLLARS' are inscribed along the upper and right periphery respectively, with the date '2019' along the left and the aperture notation 'F/2.8' along the lower border, referencing the photographic origin of the design. |
