This is a stunning 1961 Canadian 50 Cents coin featuring the 'laureate' portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse, designed by Mary Gillick. The reverse showcases the Canadian Coat of Arms, designed by Thomas Shingles. Struck by the Royal Canadian Mint, this coin is composed of 80% silver and 20% copper. This Uncirculated grade coin exhibits strong mint luster and sharp details. Minor contact marks and light, even toning are present, consistent with age and storage, yet it shows no evidence of circulation wear. A remarkable addition for any collector! Inventory #231.
