| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Susan Taylor, depicting a mature bust wearing a pearl necklace and earrings. The hair is styled in soft waves swept upward. The legend ELIZABETH II is inscribed along the left rim and D•G•REGINA along the right rim. The Royal Canadian Mint privy mark appears below the portrait at the base of the field. The deeply mirrored proof fields provide strong contrast against the raised relief of the effigy. |
