| Obverse description | Plain uniface field with no design or inscription, the surface bearing only the characteristic marks and striations of an unstruck planchet. The blank obverse is consistent with a one-sided trial striking intended solely to test the reverse die. |

| Reverse description | The Arms of Canada rendered in fine detail at centre, featuring the quartered shield displaying the heraldic arms of England, Scotland, Ireland, and France alongside the maple leaves of Canada, surmounted by a royal crown. The shield is supported on the dexter by a lion rampant and on the sinister by a unicorn, both rendered in the classical heraldic tradition. The design fills the central field within a broad raised collar rim characteristic of a trial piece struck in a retaining collar. |
