2017 Canada 50-cent 100th Anniversary of the 1917 Half Dollar 2oz. Silver (No Tax)

2017 Canada 50-cent 100th Anniversary of the 1917 Half Dollar (No Tax)

As is typical, the capsule might be scuffed. 

From that most Canadian emblem, the maple leaf, to the national arms, the changing appearance of Canada's 50-cent circulation coin parallels the evolution of a nation that has marked its 150th anniversary. This exclusive coin offers a unique 100-year retrospective of Canada's 50-cent circulation coin from 1917, featuring a design wonderfully enhanced with selective gold plating.

Your coin presents a meticulously engraved recreation of the crossed maple boughs originally designed by L. C. Wyon and later modified by W. H. J. Blakemore, which appeared on Canada's 50-cent coins before 1937. The boughs of 22 leaves and the Imperial State Crown (the solid gold coronation crown) are all beautifully enhanced by selective gilding, which adds a sumptuous golden hue that stands out against the mirror-sheen background. Complete with its serrated edge, your coin also recreates the engraved face value "50 CENTS" and the word "CANADA", and features the commemorative dates "1917-2017" to honour the centennial of the 1917 issue. The selective gold plating continues on the obverse, which features the effigy of King George V by Sir E. B. MacKennal.
