| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, a pearl necklace, and drop earrings, as sculpted by Dora de Pédery-Hunt. The legend CANADA arcs across the upper field, while ELIZABETH II curves along the lower periphery. The denomination 50 CENTS is prominently displayed to the left of the portrait in two lines. The portrait is rendered in fine relief with carefully detailed hair and regalia, characteristic of the de Pédery-Hunt obverse used on Canadian commemorative coinage from this period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed composition celebrating the Annapolis Valley Festival of Nova Scotia. In the central field, a historic church with a prominent steeple rises against the background, flanked to the left by an abundant spray of apple blossoms with buds and foliage — emblematic of the region's orchard heritage. To the right, a figure operating an apple press is depicted beside a barrel, evoking the valley's cider-making tradition. A heart-shaped decorative element frames the pressing scene. The bilingual legend NOVA SCOTIA — 2002 — NOUVELLE-ÉCOSSE arcs across the upper periphery, and the engraver's initials BR appear in the lower field near the rim. |
