| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, rendered at approximately 77 years of age, bareheaded and adorned with a necklace and earrings, as engraved by Susan Taylor. The portrait is presented in a refined, naturalistic style characteristic of the fourth definitive Canadian royal effigy. The legend arcs around the upper periphery of the field, with the monarch's name and royal title distributed symmetrically about the bust. |

| Reverse description | A highly detailed, close-up portrait of a North American beaver swimming in profile, facing right, with a leafy branch held in its mouth. The animal's characteristic dense, textured fur is rendered with exceptional engraving detail, filling much of the inner circle of the design. Water ripples, aquatic foliage, and a beaver paw print motif accent the composition within a segmented inner border. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper rim, while 5 DOLLARS appears in the lower exergue; the date 2013 is inscribed to the right within the field. |
