2018 50c Big Coin Coat of Arms Pure Silver Coin Royal Canadian Mint

  

This huge low mintage pure silver 50 Cent piece features the familiar coat-of-arms design. In addition to their impressive appearance with a 65 mm diameter, proof finish and selective rose gold plating, collectability is strongly supported by the extremely low mintage, which has been reduced this year to just 1,500. &#######xA0; The coins are also widely viewed as the highest quality annual coin set in Canada, with each coin representing the very best and lowest mintage example of the denomination.

While a regular 50 cent coin has a diameter of 27 mm and a weight of just 6.9 grams in base metal, this half dollar has a diameter of 65 mm and has a weight of over 155 grams, or 5 ounces, in pure silver. &#######xA0; This is about equal the weight of 23 regular half dollars.

&#######xA0; The coin is double or triple struck to ensure fine detail and a near flawless surface, while the design is further enhanced with selective rose coloured gold plating on both sides, highlighting the coin&#####x2019;s main design and the effigy of the queen.
