Three different portraits possible on the obverse
The obverse of the series is graced by the effigy of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. If your example is from 1979-1989 it would feature the Arnold Machin portrait. The famous Machin portrait of Her Majesty has the distinction of being the most reproduced image in the history of mankind when one considers the length of time the portrait was used on coins, paper money and postage stamps. If your example dates from 1990-2002 it features the classic Raphael Maklouf portrait. After 2003, the Susanna Blunt portrait has been featured. The reverse features the iconic RCM Canadian Maple Leaf design.
