| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as depicted at approximately 77 years of age, bareheaded, wearing a necklace and earrings, rendered in a refined sculptural style. The legend encircling the effigy includes the dual commemorative dates 1952 and 2022, separated by four pearls symbolising the four successive royal portraits that appeared on Canadian coinage during Her Majesty's reign. The denomination 50 DOLLARS appears within the legend, accompanied by the date 2024 and the royal title ELIZABETH II CANADA D•G•REGINA. The overall design reflects the coin's commemorative character as a tribute to the late monarch's 70-year reign. |

| Reverse description | The reverse of this unique cushion-cut coin replicates the precise geometry of a De Beers Ideal cut diamond, with the silver surface faceted and engraved to mirror the brilliance and optical symmetry of the gemstone form. Eight principal facets radiate from a central point, creating a star-like pattern of light and shadow across the highly polished and matte-finished planes. The cushion outline — with its characteristically rounded corners and squared silhouette — is faithfully reproduced in the coin's overall form, which itself embeds a 0.23-carat De Beers diamond. The interplay of mirror-polished and frosted surfaces produces a vivid contrast evoking the scintillation of a cut gemstone. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse, allowing the geometric design to stand as the sole decorative element. |
