| Obverse description | The obverse bears a proof-finish field densely patterned with repeating maple leaf outlines radiating across the Canada-shaped flan. At centre, a circular cameo portrait of Queen Elizabeth II faces right, rendered in the Susanna Blunt effigy, surrounded by the legend ELIZABETH II CANADA 2019 D.G. REGINA and the denomination 50 DOLLARS. The interplay between the mirror-polished maple leaf background and the frosted royal portrait creates a striking visual depth characteristic of Royal Canadian Mint proof coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Matthew Bowen, presents a vibrant selectively coloured composition in black, white, and red depicting an array of iconic Canadian wildlife arranged across the Canada-shaped flan. Prominently featured animals include a howling wolf, a bald eagle, a great horned owl in flight, a polar bear, a beaver, a fox, a moose, and various birds, rendered in a bold graphic illustrative style evoking Indigenous artistic traditions. The figures interlock and overlap to collectively suggest the geographic outline of Canada. The engraver's initials AG appear in the lower right field. The selective red colouring applied to certain animal elements creates a dynamic contrast against the silver proof surfaces. |
