2022 Canadian 50-Cent The Bigger Picture: Coat of Arms - 5 oz Fine Silver Coin

2022 Canadian 50-Cent The Bigger Picture: Coat of Arms - 5 oz Fine Silver Coin

This is the Bigger Picture featured here, where the 50-cent coin is the centrepiece of an expanded design that represents the composition of Canada, and underscores how the provinces and territories—and their differences—strengthen the nation as a whole.

The Coat of Arms design is synonymous with the 50-cent piece, but on this 5 oz. collectible, it shares the spotlight with all 13 provincial and territorial shields to provide a more complete representation Canada through its heraldic symbols.
