| Obverse description | The obverse features the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by engraver Susan Taylor, depicting the monarch in right-facing profile, uncrowned, aged 77, adorned with a necklace and earrings. The portrait is rendered in a refined, modern style characteristic of late-reign Canadian coinage. The surrounding legend reads ELIZABETH II CANADA D·G·REGINA, affirming her title by divine grace, while the denomination 5 DOLLARS and date 2019 are also present in the field. The engraver's initials SB appear below the portrait. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Royal Canadian Mint's bullion and collector series tied to Western astrological signs, this issue belongs to a run that the RCM has aggressively expanded since the 2010s as the secondary market for themed silver fractionals grew. The Libra piece targets the September–October birth window. Not a circulation issue by any measure — the $5 face value is nominal, set well below melt at time of issue.
