| Obverse description | The obverse features the mature effigy of Queen Elizabeth II in right-facing profile, as engraved by Susan Taylor, depicting the sovereign wearing a pearl necklace and earring with her characteristic coiffure. The legend ELIZABETH II is inscribed along the left periphery, while D∙G∙REGINA arcs along the right periphery. The date 2022 appears in the lower field beneath the portrait. The uncluttered field gives prominence to the refined, finely detailed bust against the coin's satin-finished nickel-plated steel surface. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vivid full-colour holographic image of the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train, depicted in its iconic red livery adorned with festive decorations and the Canadian national flag flying prominently above the locomotive. The colorized central field is framed by a raised milled border, with the legend CANADA arcing across the upper periphery and the denomination 50 CENTS inscribed along the lower periphery in bold capital letters. The colourized scene captures the train in motion against a wintry landscape, evoking the annual charitable railway tradition that has traversed Canada since 1999. The contrast between the vibrant polychrome central design and the surrounding satin-finished nickel-plated steel border creates a striking numismatic presentation. |
