The king wears an imperial state crown and an ermine-collared robe with a jewelled collar visible at the truncation. The engraver's initials 'G.D.S.' appear at the base of the truncation. The circular legend surrounding the effigy reads 'EDWARDVS VII D.G. REX IMPERATOR', disposed between the left and right rims in raised Latin lettering. |

The word 'CANADA' appears in the central field, with the date '1902' positioned in the lower exergue. An imperial crown surmounts the entire design at the top, replacing the earlier Victorian crown used on predecessor issues. The overall composition is framed within a beaded inner border. |
