Obverse description	Printed in red and gold tones on polymer substrate, the obverse carries an intaglio portrait of Prime Minister W.L. Mackenzie King at centre against a fine guilloche underprint with hexagonal geometric patterning. The large numeral '50' appears in red at lower left, with bilingual bank title legends running vertically at right and the word 'Canada' in serif script at upper left. A maple-leaf-shaped transparent window at left incorporates a holographic security element, while a broad frosted polymer security panel at right contains a see-through portrait of King, repeated microprinted '50' numerals, and an intaglio rendering of the Peace Tower.

Reverse description	The reverse, printed in red tones on polymer, presents a detailed vignette of the Canadian Coast Guard Science icebreaker CCGS Amundsen at centre, set against a background map of the Canadian Arctic. A maple-leaf-shaped transparent window at upper right mirrors the obverse security element, and the large numeral '50' is printed in red at lower right alongside the 'Canada' wordmark. The frosted security panel at left repeats the see-through portrait and the Peace Tower vignette visible from the obverse, with bilingual vessel identification text below the ship vignette.
