.As is fitting with the world's first football-shaped coin, the reverse was struck with a very realistic depiction of an American football. The leather texture of the ball, the wide bands at both ends, and the stitching along the top are all present with amazing accuracy. The inscription "25 DOLLARS" arcs across the top, and "2017" curves along the bottom.
The obverse of the coin shows Susanna Blunt's effigy of Queen Elizabeth II that was first seen in 2003. This design is present in the center of the coin, with the inscriptions "CANADA,""ELIZABETH II," and "D. G. REGINA" around it. The leather texture of the ball is also present on this side.
