| Obverse description | The large numeral '80' dominates the centre of the field, flanked by two inset coin effigies: on the left, the bust of Queen Wilhelmina as it appears on the 1940 1-guilder coin with circular legend, and on the right a fantasy coin depicting Wilhelmina in a military helmet with the legend 'WILHELMINA IN LONDON'. In the lower field, celebrating Dutch civilians in relief raise their arms toward Allied aircraft flying overhead, symbolising the liberation. The arc legend reads '1945 • VRIJHEID • 2025'. |

| Reverse description | The central device features a large Canadian maple leaf in relief, with the Dutch Royal coat of arms — supported by two rampant lions beneath a crown and bearing the motto scroll 'JE MAINTIENDRAI' — superimposed upon it. The design symbolises the bond between the Netherlands and Canada forged during liberation. The circumferential legend arcs around the upper field, separated from the central device by a beaded border, with dates in the lower field. |
