| Obverse description | Left-facing effigy of King Charles III depicted in civilian dress — suit and tie — rendered in high relief against a rhodium-plated field engraved with flowing wave-like guilloche lines. The portrait, designed by Steven Rosati (initials SR visible below the bust truncation), presents the king at age 74 with naturalistic detail in the facial features and hair. The legend CHARLES III arcs along the left rim, CANADA 2025 curves across the upper field, and D·G·REX descends along the right. The denomination 50 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents an evocative nocturnal landscape inspired by the lunar cycle and the Moon's influence on the natural world, rendered with selective black rhodium plating to heighten the atmospheric depth. A large, luminous full Moon dominates the upper field, its surface textured with topographic detail suggesting craters and maria as seen near the horizon. In the foreground and middle ground, silhouetted wildlife — including bats in flight, howling wolves, and bears — animate the scene against a darkened sky and treeline. The composition evokes the primal rhythms of nature governed by moonlight, with the contrast between the frosted silver and the dark rhodium-plated areas creating a dramatic chiaroscuro effect. |
