| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, depicting the Queen at approximately 77 years of age, bare-headed, wearing a necklace and drop earrings. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail to the facial features and hair.

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic two-part composition contrasting a finely detailed terrestrial landscape in the lower field with a star-filled night sky above. In the lower portion, a naturalistic autumn wilderness scene depicts a rocky stream bed flanked by snow-dusted coniferous trees and boulders rendered in high relief. Against the deeply recessed, frosted night-sky field, the outline constellations of Ursa Major (Great Bear) and Ursa Minor (Little Bear) are engraved in fine lines connecting individual stars, with Ursa Major prominently centered and Ursa Minor positioned above it. The legend CANADA 50 DOLLARS arcs across the upper portion of the field, the date 2006 appears in the lower exergue within the landscape, and the mint mark CM is inscribed at lower left. |
