The image is enhanced by the application of selective gold plating over the goose and along the rim. The reverse also features the engraved face value “1 DOLLAR”, the word “CANADA” and the commemorative dates “1867-2017”. The obverse features selective gold plating on the second effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin.
