| Obverse description | The obverse bears the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as rendered by Susanna Blunt, depicting the Queen in right-facing profile at approximately 77 years of age, bareheaded with a simple necklace and earrings. The legend arcs around the upper field, with the monarch's name and royal title inscribed in Latin. The initials 'SB' appear below the truncation, denoting the engraver. The design follows the standard fourth-generation portrait adopted by the Royal Canadian Mint for commemorative issues. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a striking Haida formline composition depicting the Eagle, a central figure in Haida mythology, rendered in the traditional Northwest Coast Indigenous artistic style by artist Andy Everson (A.W.). The design is dominated by bold ovoid and U-form elements characteristic of Haida formline art, presenting the Eagle in a frontal, spread-winged posture with its talons and tail fan visible in the lower field. Selective color application in vivid red and deep black enamel highlights the interlocking formline elements, which include the bird's face, wings, and body forms, all set against the mirror-polished silver field. The legend 'CANADA' arcs along the left border, while '50 DOLLARS' and the date '2016' appear along the right, with the artist's initials 'AW' incused in the lower right field. |
