| Obverse description | Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as a young woman of approximately 27 years of age, facing right, her head crowned with a laurel wreath, rendered in the style of the portrait used on Canadian coinage from 1953 to 1964. The legend arcs around the upper field, and the design evokes the first-generation Elizabethan portrait by Mary Gillick. The surfaces exhibit a mirror-like proof finish with frosted relief. |

| Reverse description | The full Arms of Canada rendered in high relief at centre, with selective gold plating applied to the shield and the St. Edward's Crown surmounting the crest. The shield displays the quarterly arms of England, Scotland, Ireland, and France with a sprig of maple leaves in base, supported by a crowned lion rampant to the left and a chained unicorn to the right, each holding a lance bearing the Union Flag and the fleur-de-lis banner respectively. A scroll below bears the motto A MARI USQUE AD MARE divided across two ribbon bands, with a floral compartment of provincial flowers at the base. The dual commemorative dates 1959 and 2019 flank the crown at the top of the field, with CANADA to the left and 50 CENTS to the right along the border. |
