| Obverse lettering | ELIZABETH II D•G•REGINA (Translation: Elizabeth II Queen by the grace of God) |
| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly coloured representation of an authentic Moon Mask, symbolising the spiritual grandfather of the Squamish Nation of the Coast Salish peoples, rendered with meticulous ethnographic fidelity. The mask's stylised face dominates the central field, with bold formline designs depicting eyes, brows, and facial features characteristic of Northwest Coast Indigenous art. The border of the design recreates the traditional cedar bark rope that encircled the original ceremonial mask's edge, rendered in sculptural relief. The denomination 300 DOLLARS, the country name CANADA, the year 2008, and the artist's initials JB are inscribed in the legend surrounding the design. |
