| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth-effigy portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, depicting the monarch in right-facing profile at approximately 77 years of age, bareheaded, wearing a necklace and drop earrings. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper periphery, with CANADA at the upper left and the date 2010 at the lower right of the field. The portrait is rendered in the refined, neoclassical style characteristic of Blunt's official effigy for Canadian coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a full-color applied image of Quatchi, the sasquatch mascot of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, depicted as the primary figure skating forward in a blue costume with red skates, joyfully lifting Miga, the sea-bear mascot, overhead with his right arm. Miga is shown in her distinctive black and white coloring with a green scarf, rendered in a playful, animated style. The denomination 50 cents arcs along the upper border of the inner circle, while the legend VANCOUVER 2010 is inscribed along the lower arc of the field. The colorized central design is set against the polished nickel-finish field of the coin. |
