Fourth uncrowned portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II facing right and the logo of Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics.

The logo was unveiled on April 23, 2005, and is named Ilanaaq the Inunnguaq. Ilanaaq is the Inuktitut word for friend. The logo was based on the Inukshuk (stone landmark or cairn) built by Alvin Kanak for the Northwest Territories Pavilion at Expo 86 and donated to the City of Vancouver after the event. It is now used as a landmark on English Bay Beach.

The TM/MC (trade-mark / marque de commerce) notice symbol appears designed to communicate claimed common law unregistered trademark rights to both English and French speaking consumers in a single treatment.

The circulation quarters omitted a traditional phrase, Dei Gratia Regina, from their obverse side, making them the first godless coins in circulation since 1911.
