| Obverse description | Uncrowned right-facing effigy of King Charles III, modeled by sculptor Martin Jennings, rendered in a modern, naturalistic portrait style. The King is depicted wearing a suit and tie, without regal regalia, reflecting a contemporary approach to royal portraiture. The legend CHARLES III appears to the left of the effigy, while D·G·REX is inscribed to the right, both following the curve of the inner beaded border. The engraver's initials SR appear in small relief at the base of the portrait. The field features a subtly brushed finish consistent with Specimen coinage production. |

| Reverse description | The Canadian coat of arms occupies the central field in high relief, depicting the quartered royal shield supported by a lion rampant to the left and a unicorn to the right, both rendered with fine heraldic detail. Above the shield rests the Royal Crown, and below, a scroll bears the Latin motto A MARI USQUE AD MARE (From Sea to Sea). Maple boughs frame the base of the composition. The legend CANADA arcs along the left periphery and 50 CENTS along the right, separated by the date 20 24 flanking the crown at the top, all within a beaded inner border. |
