| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing a tiara, occupying the central field. The legend ELIZABETH II is inscribed along the left rim, while CANADA and the date 1976 appear along the right rim. A small maple leaf device is positioned at the base of the bust, serving as a divider between the two inscription segments. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail in the hair and drapery, in the style engraved by Arnold Machin. |

| Reverse description | Three stylized athletes in the foreground, depicted mid-stride in a dynamic composition suggestive of boxing or athletic movement, set against radiating lines emanating from a central point on the horizon to create a sunburst effect. The Olympic rings logo appears in the upper left field, accompanied by the bilingual inscription OLYMPIADE XXI OLYMPIAD to the right. The city name MONTRÉAL and the year 1976 are inscribed to the lower left, while the denomination 5 DOLLARS is placed along the lower rim. The overall design is bold and modernist, consistent with the official Montreal 1976 Olympic Games commemorative coin series. |
