The obverse features the modern effigy of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Susanna Blunt along with the year of issue and legal tender value set against micro-engraved radial lines-a security feature that is pushing the boundaries of engraving technology.<\/p>\n
It is the second effigy of the Queen Elizabeth II by a Canadian artist (after the one by Dora de P\u00e9dery-Hunt introduced in 1990) and it has been in use on Canadians coins since 2003. The Royal Canadian Mint describes the portrait as a \u201cmore mature and less formal portrait of Her Majesty\u201d. The portrait shows the Queen facing right. She is bare-headed (not crowned) and wears a pearl necklace; it recalls the effigy of King George VI, who also chose to be portrayed without a crown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
