| Obverse description | Centered effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, rendered in the fourth definitive portrait by Susanna Blunt after Susan Taylor, with the Queen depicted uncrowned and wearing a necklace and earrings. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 5 DOLLARS and the date 2012 are inscribed along the lower rim. The portrait is set against a flat, unadorned field typical of bullion coinage, with fine detail in the hair and drapery of the bust. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed depiction of a bull moose (Alces alces) standing in profile facing left, its massive antlered head lowered amid stylized vegetation rendered in high relief. The composition conveys the powerful stature and textured coat of the animal with naturalistic artistry. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper periphery, while the lower field carries the bilingual purity and weight inscription FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR, flanked by the fineness mark 9999 at lower left and the engraver's initials WW below the moose. The overall design exemplifies the Royal Canadian Mint's Wildlife series aesthetic. |
