This fine silver collectable coin faithfully recreates Canada’s 1959 50-cent piece, enhanced with gold plating. In 1957, Canada amended the coat of arms it had been using since 1921. The changes, requested by Canada’s new monarch, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, included the use of St. Edward’s Crown in place of the Tudor crown, and a change of leaf colour from green to red.
All collectable coins have been previously owned. Conditions will vary.
