| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth-portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, depicting the sovereign facing right, bareheaded, wearing a necklace and drop earrings, superimposed over a stylized field of engraved maple leaves. The legend arcs around the upper periphery reading ELIZABETH II, with the date 2018 and the royal title D·G·REGINA, while the denomination 30 DOLLARS appears along the lower arc. The effigy is rendered in fine relief against the decorative foliate background, characteristic of Royal Canadian Mint commemorative issues of this period. |

| Obverse lettering | ELIZABETH II 2018 D·G·REGINA 30 DOLLARS (Translation: Elizabeth II Queen by the grace of God) |
| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, colour-enhanced depiction of the ornate wrought-iron Queen's Gate, the ceremonial entrance to Parliament Hill in Ottawa, rendered in fine filigree relief with intricate scrollwork and foliate motifs in blackened finish. Through the open gates, a full-colour panoramic view is revealed, showing the Peace Tower of the Centre Block rising prominently above the Centennial Flame in the foreground, set against a vivid blue sky with clouds. The composition creates a striking trompe-l'œil perspective effect, with the three-dimensional gate framing the coloured background scene. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper periphery in raised relief letters. The combination of sculpted metalwork and selective colour application exemplifies the Royal Canadian Mint's advanced commemorative coin production techniques. |
