| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, rendered in the fourth portrait by Susanna Blunt, wearing a pearl necklace and drop earring. The legend CANADA arcs across the upper field, with ELIZABETH II inscribed along the right periphery and 300 DOLLARS along the left. The date 2005 appears in the lower field below the portrait. The engraver's initials SB are incused at the base of the truncation. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold, high-relief interpretation of Northwest Coast Indigenous art, depicting a central totem figure — likely a thunderbird or bear-related supernatural being — rendered in the distinctive formline design tradition. The dominant central figure, adorned with stylized ovoid and U-form elements, is flanked on the left by a tall carved human or ancestral figure and on the right by a longhouse facade with a frontal mask motif. An eagle or raven figure appears at the upper left, its beak and wing forms integrating seamlessly into the composition. The entire field is filled with interlocking carved elements characteristic of Pacific Northwest First Nations art, with the artist's monogram incused in the lower left. No legends appear on the reverse. |
