| Obverse lettering | ELIZABETH II D•G•REGINA (Translation: Elizabeth II Queen by the grace of God) |
| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, close-up frontal portrait of a Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus), its broad facial disc, prominent ear tufts, and piercing forward-facing eyes rendered in fine sculptural relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The bird's hooked beak and intricately engraved feathering fill the central design, creating a naturalistic and striking composition. The scientific name 'Bubo virginianus' is inscribed in italic lettering along the lower portion of the design, with 'CANADA' in larger capitals below. The denomination '50 CENTS' and date '2000' appear along the right inner periphery. |
