| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by engraver Susan Taylor, portraying Her Majesty at 77 years of age as a bare-headed right-facing portrait. The Queen is depicted wearing a necklace and drop earrings, rendered with fine detail characteristic of the Taylor portrait series adopted by the Royal Canadian Mint. The surrounding legend is arranged along the upper periphery, while the denomination appears within the field. The portrait maintains the refined, mature likeness introduced for Canadian coinage in the early 2000s. |

| Additional information |
The "Maple Leaf in Motion" belongs to the Royal Canadian Mint's ongoing series of large-format collector pieces built around kinetic optical effects — a technology the RCM has refined since introducing radial line finishing and bullion-iridescent treatments in the 2010s. The two-tone gold plating here, separating yellow and pink zones across a single surface, requires electroplating applied in precise registration to avoid bleed at the boundary, a production challenge that limits strike quantities considerably.
