| Obverse description | The effigy of Queen Elizabeth II is depicted in right-facing profile, rendered at approximately 77 years of age in the style of engraver Susan Taylor. The Queen appears bare-headed, adorned with a necklace and earrings, in a refined and dignified portrait consistent with late-reign Canadian coinage. The denomination '8 DOLLARS' appears as a legend in the field, and the Latin inscription around the effigy translates to 'Elizabeth II, Queen by the Grace of God.' |

| Reverse description | The reverse features Dilong, the mythological Earth Dragon of Chinese tradition, depicted in a graceful clockwise spiral occupying the left portion of the field. The serpentine dragon clutches a yin-yang symbol within its claws, rendered in fine detail against a plain field. The issuing country 'CANADA' and the date '2022' appear as a legend to the right of the dragon. The artist's initials 'AKN' are inscribed below the principal design, serving as the engraver's signature mark. |
