| Obverse description | A detailed relief effigy of a beaver, facing right, occupies the central field, depicted in a naturalistic style with finely engraved fur texture. The animal is shown resting above stylized water waves rendered in three parallel curved lines in the lower field. Behind the beaver, a mountainous landscape and a leafy branch appear in the background. The town name SAYABEC arches prominently across the lower central field, partially overlapping the beaver motif, with the denomination 5 DOLLARS inscribed along the bottom rim. |

| Additional information |
Sayabec is a small municipality in the Matapédia Valley of Quebec, incorporated in 1894. The 1994 centenary dollar — issued in the five-dollar denomination format used for Canadian municipal commemoratives of the period — reflects the federal mint's practice in the early 1990s of producing locally commissioned pieces for centennial anniversaries, often in limited quantities sold directly through municipal channels rather than through standard numismatic distribution.
