The design is encircled by a border of characters in a sans-serif typeface reading ROYAL CANADIAN MINT MONNAIE ROYALE CANADIENNE OTTAWA, with two maple leaf symbols separating the text. The opposing face depicts the modern, angular glass architecture of the Winnipeg facility, characterized by its sharp triangular profile and gridded window patterns, set against a background of evergreen trees.
