| Obverse description | The obverse presents two facing effigies set within overlapping oval frames against a mirror-polished field, both rendered in selective blue rhodium plating. To the left, the young diademed and draped bust of Queen Victoria faces right, based on Leonard Charles Wyon's classic portrait. To the right, Susanna Blunt's mature effigy of Queen Elizabeth II faces left, wearing a diadem and robes. Between the two portraits, at upper centre, appears the royal cypher of Queen Victoria surmounted by a crown, and at lower centre the royal cypher 'ER' of Queen Elizabeth II beneath a crown, with the denomination '5 DOLLARS' inscribed below. The surrounding legend reads 'ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA' at top and 'VICTORIA D·G·REGINA' at bottom, with a beaded border encircling the entire design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a highly detailed maple leaf cluster at centre, with the central leaf rendered in polished relief and surrounded by additional leaves treated with selective blue rhodium plating against a deeply mirrored background, creating a striking two-tone contrast. The design commemorates the 200th anniversary of Queen Victoria's birth, with the bicentennial dates '1819' and '2019' inscribed to the left of the central motif. The fineness designation '9999' appears to the right. The outer legend reads 'CANADA' at top and 'FINE SILVER 1 OZ ARGENT PUR' along the lower border, all within a plain raised rim. |
