| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 50th anniversary of the Canadian flag, adopted on February 15, 1965 after one of the most contentious parliamentary debates in Canadian history. Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson's push to replace the Red Ensign consumed six months of bitter argument — the Great Canadian Flag Debate — before a single design was chosen by parliamentary committee, deliberately bypassing cabinet to break the deadlock.
