| Obverse description | Right-facing laureate bust of Queen Elizabeth II, the first effigy used on Canadian coinage, after the portrait modelled by Mary Gillick. The Queen is depicted bare-shouldered with a sprig of laurel in her hair, her tresses arranged in an elegant chignon. A fine beaded border encircles the coin, with the circumferential legend reading ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA, separated by raised dots, arcing from lower left to lower right around the field. |
