| Obverse description | The obverse presents the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, depicting the monarch in right-facing portrait at approximately 77 years of age, bareheaded and adorned with a necklace and drop earrings. The legend encircling the upper field reads ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA, invoking the monarch's title by the grace of God in the Latin tradition, while the denomination 8 DOLLARS appears in the lower field. The portrait is rendered in fine relief against a radially lined background field, characteristic of Royal Canadian Mint bullion issues of this period. |
