| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II depicted at approximately 37 years of age, wearing a tiara and draped attire, as designed by Patrick Brinley. The sovereign's portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail in the hair and facial features. The circular legend reads ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA, invoking her title as Queen by the Grace of God. The inscription is positioned along the upper periphery of the coin in Latin script, with the field remaining unadorned around the bust. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Canada's shift to .500 fine silver for the dollar in 1967 — down from the .800 fineness used through 1966 — was a direct response to rising silver spot prices that were pushing the intrinsic metal value of coins uncomfortably close to face value. The 1972 issue is among the last years the dollar was struck in silver at all; by 1968 the circulating dollar had already moved to nickel, making these .500 silver pieces collector-targeted from the outset rather than genuine circulation strikes.
