| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by sculptor Susan Taylor, depicting the monarch in right-facing profile as a mature woman approximately 77 years of age. The portrait shows the Queen bare-headed, adorned with a necklace and earrings, rendered in fine relief characteristic of proof coinage. The obverse legend arcs around the upper periphery, reading ELIZABETH II D•G•REGINA, affirming her title as Queen by the Grace of God. The field is polished to a mirror finish consistent with proof production standards. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features the iconic Canadian beaver, a design originally introduced by G.E. Kruger-Gray in 1937, rendered here by Thomas Shingles in refined proof relief. The beaver is shown in profile, seated atop a log or rocky surface, occupying the central field of the coin. The denomination 5 CENTS appears above the beaver, flanked by stylized maple leaves, while the country name CANADA and the issue year are inscribed below. The reverse lettering is arranged in a symmetrical, heraldic manner around the central device, with all elements separated by a raised rim. The mirror-proof surfaces of both field and relief elements highlight the fine engraving detail of this non-circulating commemorative issue. |
