| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The beaver motif on Canadian bullion coinage traces directly to G.E. Kruger Gray's 1937 design, commissioned as part of a broader redenomination of Canadian coinage following George VI's accession. That original five-cent design was never intended for gold — its migration to the bullion program decades later was purely a marketing decision by the Royal Canadian Mint as it expanded its fractional gold offerings in the early 2010s. The .9999 fineness places it among the purest gold issues in the Mint's catalog, a standard achieved only after significant refining upgrades in the late twentieth century.
