| Obverse description | Selectively gold-plated effigy of King Charles III in right-facing profile, rendered in high relief against a lightly engraved floral background field. The portrait, designed by Steven Rosati, depicts the King in contemporary attire without crown or adornment. The legend CHARLES III arcs along the left rim, CANADA 2024 along the upper rim, and D·G·REX along the right rim, all in raised Latin lettering. The denomination 50 DOLLARS appears in the lower field beneath the effigy. The engraver's initials SR are incused below the portrait truncation. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents an elaborate heraldic landscape composition in high relief, with selective gold plating highlighting key design elements. At the centre, the Arms of Canada — featuring the quartered shield supported by a lion rampant and a unicorn, surmounted by a royal crown — occupies a circular cartouche, with the motto A MARI USQUE AD MARE inscribed on a ribbon below. Surrounding this central armorial achievement, a richly detailed landscape of engraved foliage, branches, and waterways frames an array of indigenous Canadian birds rendered in naturalistic style, including an owl, a loon, a raven, a robin, a woodpecker, a ptarmigan, and several others, all distributed throughout the field. The engraver's initials CBS appear discreetly within the design. The outer legend DESIDERANTS MELIOREM PATRIAM arcs around the upper portion of the rim. |
