50 Cents coin Canada (half dollar)

50 Cents, Canada (Issued 1944)

The Canadian fifty cent piece, or half dollar, of this era was struck in .800 fine silver under King George VI. The largest circulating silver coin of the Dominion, it had a solid heft and a broad flan. The coin has a reeded edge and a bright silvery colour.

On the obverse appears the bare head of King George VI facing left, encircled by the Latin legend “GEORGIVS VI D:G:REX ET IND:IMP:”, naming him King by the Grace of God and Emperor of India, with the designer’s initials below the neck.

On the reverse is the coat of arms of Canada, a quartered shield bearing the emblems of England, Scotland, Ireland and France with a sprig of maple leaves at its base, supported by a crowned lion and a unicorn holding flags and surmounted by a royal crown. The value “50 CENTS” arches above, with “CANADA” and the date along the foot.
