| Obverse description | Veiled bust of Queen Victoria facing left, wearing a small crown atop her veil and a pearl necklace, rendered in the Old Head portrait style. The effigy is depicted with fine detail in the veil draping over her shoulders and drop earrings visible below the veil. The circular legend reads VICTORIA DEI GRATIA IND IMP, separated by dot stops, running from lower left around the top to lower right. A beaded border frames the entire design. |

Within the wreath, the country name CANADA appears in the upper portion of the field, with the date 1901 positioned directly below. A Tudor-style imperial crown surmounts the wreath at the top. The overall composition is symmetrical and heraldic in character, with fine leaf detail throughout. A beaded border runs along the coin's periphery. |

| Additional information |
This is a fantasy piece or medallic issue — Victoria died in January 1901, and Canada never struck circulating dollar coinage during her reign. The standard Canadian silver dollar series began in 1935 under George V. Any piece combining her effigy with a dollar denomination and a year-2000 date is almost certainly a privately produced commemorative with no official status from the Royal Canadian Mint.
