Best Answer

Her Majesty the Queen of Canada is on the Canadian 25¢ coin because Her Majesty is the Canadian head of State. Canada has always featured the current monarch on its coinage. The Queen is also featured on the 1¢, 5¢, 10¢, $1 and $2 coins, and on the twenty-dollar bill.

No, the Queen of Canada is not featured on the $5 bill.

Currently, the Canadian $5 bill features the Right Honourable Sir Wilfred Laurier, former prime minister.
