Like many other mints, the Royal Canadian Mint issues coins in precious metals having much higher intrinsic value than their face value. Many of these are in the one ounce (1 oz) silver format which is very popular internationally.
The coins are legal tender but are not intended for circulation. They are targeted at collectors who appreciate these special editions as pieces of art, or for commemorative reasons.
This commemorative one-ounce silver $20 coin celebrates the Platinum Jubilee (70th anniversary) of Queen Elizabeth II's reign.
On the throne since 6 February 1952, at the date when the coin was issued Queen Elizabeth II was the longest-lived and longest-reigning British monarch, the longest-serving female head of state in history, the oldest living and longest-reigning current monarch, and the oldest and longest-serving incumbent head of state. |

The obverse of the coin shows the mature portrait of Queen Elizabeth II facing right. The Queen is bare headed (not crowned) and wears a pearl necklace and pearl stud earrings.
In small letters below left, on the shoulder of the Queen's garment, the initials of the designer, SB (for Susanna Blunt).
Around the effigy is the monarch's legend and the face value: ELIZABETH II D · G · REGINA 20 DOLLARS. Translated from Latin, the legend means: Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen.

The reverse design shows Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as she looked in 1952, the year she became queen. She wears the Royal Diadem which she wears on her way to and from the State Opening of Parliament, pearl necklace and earrings, and a riband (sash) with the Star of the Order of the Garter.
A semi-circle surrounding the portrait above starts with two maple leaves, a symbol of Canada.
The jubilee dates 1952 and 2022 are on the left and right sides of the portrait respectively. Below the dates, on the left the English inscription PLATINUM JUBILEE, and on the right, the same in French: JUBILÉ DE PLATINE.
The artist's initials PY (for Pandora Young) are below left.
