| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by engraver Susanna Blunt, depicting the Queen bare-headed and facing right, wearing a necklace and drop earrings. The portrait, introduced in 2003, presents the Queen at approximately 77 years of age with characteristic restraint and dignity. The surrounding legend reads 'ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA' with the engraver's initials 'P SB' appearing below the truncation of the bust. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a high-relief sculptural effigy of a seated Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) in its white winter coat, rendered in fine .9999 silver against a gold-plated field. The fox is depicted in a composed, upright seated posture, facing left, with detailed fur texture achieved through skilled engraving; its lower body merges into a rocky Arctic terrain rendered in lower relief. The gold-plated background features sweeping arc lines suggestive of the northern horizon or aurora, providing dramatic contrast to the unplated silver subject. The legend 'CANADA 2019 50 DOLLARS' appears to the right in the field, with the engraver's initials 'JF' incused at lower left. |
