2019 Canada Big Coin 50 Cents Series 5oz Fine Silver Coin

The Canadian Coat of Arms from the 50-cent piece is one of seven designs to make the leap to a 5 oz. coin part of the Royal Canadian Mint's reverse gold-plated tribute to Canadian circulation coins past and present.

Design:

The reverse features the Canadian Coat of Arms design. A lion holding a Union Jack flag on the left and a unicorn holding a flag bearing three French fleurs-de-lys on the right support a central shield divided into five sections bearing historical emblems of England, France, Scotland, and Ireland, as well as a sprig of three maple leaves. The shield is encircled with a ribbon representing the Order of Canada bearing the motto desiderantes meliorem patriam, which means "desiring a better country." The shield is surmounted bya royal helmet within a garland of maple leaves, upon which stands a crowned lion holding a maple leaf.St. Edward's Crown, symbolizing Canada's constitutional monarchy, rests above the lion, whichsymbolizes Canada's sovereignty. The motto a mari usque ad mari ("from sea to sea") appears in a ribbon below the shield, along with a "compartment" or garland composed of the floral emblems of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland. Reverse gold plating fills the field while the coin's silver surface draws the eye to the engraved relief, which includes the word "CANADA", the date "2019" and the face value of "50 CENTS". The reverse gold-plated obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
