The reverse of the coin features the application of colour over engraving in its depiction of WONDER WOMANTM in a fierce battle-ready pose. In the background, carefully positioned polygon shapes are contrasted through the use of frosted finishes in order to create a stunning "shattered glass" effect; this visual element is highly symbolic, for it represents the "shattering" of what was established in Man of Steel and the challenges that lie ahead after Superman has revealed himself to the world. Wonder Woman is a force to be reckoned with in the red, gold and blue colours of her Phoenician armour, complete with tiara and bracelets; the Lasso of Truth is strapped in its usual position on her waist as she holds a sword in one hand, and clenches the other to make a fist. Her facial features convey her famous strength, fearlessness and resolve, while the impression of wind-blown locks infuses the design with a sense of movement. To the right of this warrior is the engraved identifier "WONDER WOMAN" in the Kryptonian syllabic writing system. On the bottom of the reverse, the inscription: "2016" – the year of issue. On the left side, the inscription: "10 DOLLARS" – the face value. The obverse of the coin depicts the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the inscriptions: "ELIZABETH II" – the name of the Queen, "CANADA" – the issue country and "D · G · Regina" – Dei Gratia Regina.
