| Obverse description | The obverse presents the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, sculpted by Susan Taylor, depicting the monarch at approximately 77 years of age in right-facing profile. The mature bust is bare-headed and adorned with a necklace and drop earrings, rendered with fine detail in the portrait's facial features and jewelry. The surrounding legend is divided by the effigy, with the inscription arcing along the upper and lower fields of the coin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces the allegorical vignette that originally appeared on the five-dollar note issued by Barclays Bank of Canada in 1929, faithfully rendered in fine silver relief. At the center, a classically draped allegorical female figure is depicted seated in three-quarter view, her gaze directed toward a terrestrial globe positioned before her, symbolizing commerce, knowledge, or empire. The composition is executed in a detailed engraving style consistent with the banknote engraving tradition of the early twentieth century. The face value, country name, and date are inscribed within the legend surrounding the central design. |
