| Obverse description | Left-facing effigy of King Charles III depicted in civilian dress, wearing a suit and tie, rendered in high relief against a smooth field. The portrait, engraved by Steven Rosati, captures the King at age 74 with naturalistic detail. The legend CHARLES III arcs along the left periphery, while D·G·REX curves along the right. The denomination 8 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower portion of the obverse. The engraver's initials SR appear discreetly below the bust truncation. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts Panlong, the auspicious coiled water dragon of Chinese mythology, rendered in intricate relief. The dragon, revered as a rain deity and symbol of power and wisdom, is shown clutching a luminous pearl—an emblem of spiritual energy—within its claws. The sinuous body of the dragon is coiled dynamically amid rising waves, with the serpentine curve of its form echoing the rolling motion of the water's surface. Fine engraving captures the scaled texture of the creature and the fluid movement of the surrounding sea. The legend CANADA 2025 and the mintmark CRR are inscribed within the design. |
