| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of Queen Victoria, wearing a small ornate crown set upon her hair, which is elaborately dressed and gathered at the nape with a ribbon. The portrait, engraved by Leonard Charles Wyon, presents the young laureate effigy in high relief against a flat field. A continuous Latin legend reads VICTORIA DEI GRATIA REGINA around the upper periphery, with CANADA inscribed along the lower border, all separated from the toothed rim by a fine raised border. |

A St. Edward's Crown surmounts the wreath at the top of the design. The mint mark H, where applicable, appears at the bottom of the coin just below the wreath knot, above the toothed border that encircles the entire reverse. |
