Design: The coin showcases a stunning iconic rendering of a new Miss Canada allegory for modern day Canada.

The landscape surrounding Miss Canada demonstrates Canada's vast mountains, a glacial river, large waterway and a wild forested shoreline. An eagle flies overhead the image of a jumping fish. The bottom of the image is decorated with a garland composed of more than 25 types of Canadian leaves. The coin is designed by Canadian artist Laurie McGaw.
