| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susan Taylor, depicting the sovereign at approximately 77 years of age, bare-headed, wearing a necklace and earrings. The legend arcs around the upper field identifying the monarch and issuing authority, with the platinum fineness and denomination inscribed in the lower field. The portrait is rendered in fine relief against a polished field characteristic of proof-quality coinage. |

Canada's Platinum Jubilee issue presented an obvious conceit the Royal Canadian Mint could not resist: commemorating seventy years on the throne with a coin struck in the metal that shares the anniversary's name. Elizabeth II died on September 8, 2022, making this one of the final issues authorized under her reign — production and release timelines for the jubilee series had already been set when she passed, leaving these coins straddling her death in an administratively awkward position few catalog entries bother to acknowledge.
