| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a tiara, rendered in a refined, contemporary portrait style by engraver Patrick Brinley. The effigy occupies the central field, with hair elegantly styled and a tiara set with pearls and gems. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs along the left periphery and 'CANADA 1974' along the right, separated at the base of the design by a small maple leaf device. The open field surrounding the portrait gives the obverse a clean, medallic character. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts, in a modernist stylized composition, a laureate athlete's bust in left profile occupying the right portion of the field, wearing an olive wreath, juxtaposed to the left with a hand gripping an upraised Olympic torch with stylized flames. The Montreal 1976 Olympic logo — five interlocking rings surmounted by a floral emblem — appears in the upper left, flanked by the bilingual inscriptions 'Olympiade XXI Olympiad' to the upper right and 'Montréal 1976' to the left. The denomination '5 Dollars' is inscribed along the lower field in a clean sans-serif typeface. |
