| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse presents three cameo-style effigies of Queen Elizabeth II set within circular medallions arranged across the polished gold field, each rendered in selective frosted relief to evoke the successive official portrait types used on Canadian coinage. The upper-left medallion depicts the young Queen laureate with a ribbon, as seen on early Elizabethan coinage; the upper-right medallion shows the mature tiara-crowned effigy associated with the Arnold Machin portrait; and the lower medallion features the later diademed and crowned effigy with pearl necklace. At the centre of the composition, a large Tudor rose in high relief serves as a decorative focal point, surrounded by an elaborate interlaced scrollwork and foliate arabesque pattern that fills the entire field. The inscription ELIZABETH II D.G. REGINA appears as the obverse legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II's accession, this piece was part of the Royal Canadian Mint's broader commemorative push in 2002 that produced several high-denomination bullion-grade collector issues. The four-portrait design was a deliberate nod to the four distinct effigy types used on Canadian coinage during her reign to that point — Gillick, Machin, de Pedery-Hunt, and Dora de Pédery-Hunt's refined successor — each reflecting not just artistic convention but the political sensitivity around updating a reigning monarch's likeness on a dominion's currency.
Mintage was capped at 2,002 pieces, a figure chosen to mirror the year of issue.
