Design:
The portrait, by Canadian artist Bonnie Ross, depicts Princess Elizabeth at about 11 years of age. The design echoes the style of The Queen's effigies that have appeared on coins -the face as the central element, and shown from the neck up, facing right. In order to utilize the sculptural relief of the repouss style, the princess is portrayed with a three-quarter view instead of the traditional side profile. Princess Elizabeth is flanked by two rows of maple leaves, alluding to her connection to Canada.
