Designed by Canadian illustrator Pui Yan Fung, the reverse (or tails) side of the coin features stylized depictions of aircraft flown by RCAF personnel past and present.

硬币的反面（或反面）由加拿大插画家 Pui Yan Fung 设计，以风格化的方式描绘了过去和现在皇家空军人员驾驶的飞机。

According to the Mint, the inner core features the RCAF roundel above a Model H of the CC-130 Hercules, which has been the mainstay of the RCAF transport fleet for over 60 years. The upward angle of the Hercules is a nod to the RCAF motto, Sic itur ad astra (“Such is the pathway to the stars”).

据造币厂称，内芯的特点是皇家空军圆形标志位于 CC-130 Hercules 的 H 型上方，该型飞机 60 多年来一直是皇家空军运输机队的中流砥柱。大力神的向上角度是对 RCAF 座右铭 Sic itur ad astra（“这就是通往星星的道路”）的致敬。

The double dates “1924 2024” appear beneath the soaring CC-130H. Eight current and historical RCAF aircraft appear on the outer ring, from top to bottom: the Finch Mk. II, CSR-123 Otter, F-86 Sabre Mk. 6 and CF-100 Canuck Mk. 5 on the left side; and on the right, the CT-114 Tutor, CC-115 Buffalo, CF-188 Hornet and CH-146 Griffon helicopter.

双日期“1924 2024”出现在翱翔的 CC-130H 下方。外环上出现了八架当前和历史上的皇家空军飞机，从上到下：Finch Mk. II、CSR-123 水獭、F-86 军刀 Mk. II 6 和 CF-100 加纳克 Mk.6 5个在左侧；右边是 CT-114 Tutor、CC-115 Buffalo、CF-188 Hornet 和 CH-146 Griffon 直升机。

“As Canadians go about their day, they will soon carry with them a reminder of the iconic aircraft that have carried our aviators past and present over the last century. Like a new coin, the future of Your Air Force is bright,” said Lieutenant General Eric Kenny, commander of the RCAF, in a statement.

“当加拿大人度过一天时，他们很快就会随身携带这架标志性的飞机，这些飞机在上个世纪载着我们的飞行员过去和现在。就像一枚新硬币一样，你们空军的未来是光明的。”加拿大皇家空军司令埃里克·肯尼中将在一份声明中说道。

The obverse of the toonie (or the head side) features Steven Rosati’s design of the effigy of King Charles III.

图尼的正面（或正面）采用史蒂文·罗萨蒂 (Steven Rosati) 设计的查理三世国王肖像。
