| Obverse description | Portrait of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, 7th Prime Minister of Canada (1896–1911), rendered in intaglio at centre-right against a multicolour guilloche underprint in blue and green tones. The West Block of Parliament Hill, Ottawa, appears as a vignette in the middle ground behind the portrait. Bilingual inscriptions in English and French run along the upper margin and left border, with the large numeral '5' in the lower right corner and the denomination 'CINQ • FIVE DOLLARS' at upper centre. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a large intaglio vignette illustrating children engaged in classic Canadian winter pastimes — ice hockey on an outdoor rink at right and tobogganing at left — set against a snowy landscape with evergreen trees. A large decorative snowflake motif appears in the upper left quadrant as part of the multicolour underprint in blue, green, and lilac. The word 'CANADA' and the numeral '5' are printed in the upper corners, with the serial number repeated twice along the lower portion. |
