2014 Canada 50-cent Pure Gold Coin - 150th Anniversary of Quebec and Charlottetown Conferences. (TAX Exempt) 130590
This beautifully engraved, finely finished, and symbolically rich 1/25th-ounce gold coin celebrates the 150th Anniversary of the Charlottetown and Quebec Conferences-important steps on Canada's path to nationhood.
The reverse design by Royal Canadian Mint engraver Matthew Bowen is a reinterpretation of Canada's 1964 Silver Dollar celebrating the centennial of the Charlottetown and Quebec City Conferences. The simple but rich design features the raised outline of a maple leaf. Inside the maple leaf are the four floral symbols of the major European settler groups represented in the Province of Canada and the Maritime provinces at the time of Confederation: the French fleur-de-lis at the top of the leaf, the English rose beneath it, the Irish shamrock on the left side of the image, and the Scottish thistle on the right.
