| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth-generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by engraver Susan Taylor, depicting the monarch in right-facing portrait at approximately 77 years of age, bareheaded, and adorned with a necklace and earrings. The legend ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA arcs around the upper periphery of the field, identifying the sovereign by name and royal title. The portrait is rendered in fine relief consistent with Royal Canadian Mint proof coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Coast Salish First Nations artist Darlene Gait and engraved by Christie Paquet, presents a richly detailed narrative scene depicting two young boys observing a bison herd in preparation for their first hunt, while their father gestures toward a rare white buffalo among the herd, symbolizing spiritual significance within Indigenous hunting tradition. The composition integrates naturalistic figural and animal imagery rendered in high-relief proof finish against a detailed landscape field. The legend CANADA 5 DOLLARS and the date 2013 appear within the design, completing the reverse inscription. |
