| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susan Taylor, depicting the monarch at approximately 77 years of age with a bare head, wearing a necklace and drop earrings. The portrait is rendered in fine relief against a polished field, capturing the Queen's mature likeness with considerable detail in the facial features and jewellery. The circumferential legend reads ELIZABETH II D•G•REGINA, with the initials SB appearing below the truncation. |

| Additional information |
The 500-dollar Golden Eagle belongs to the Royal Canadian Mint's ongoing large-format bullion-and-collector crossover program, which pushed aggressively into the ultra-high-purity .9999 fine gold market after the Royal Mint of Canada trademarked that standard as a competitive differentiator against sovereign mints still issuing at .9990. At roughly five troy ounces, this piece sits in an awkward commercial tier — too heavy for casual bullion stacking, not rare enough for serious registry competition — which has historically kept secondary market premiums modest relative to lower-mintage issues in the same series.
