Obverse description The obverse bears the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, depicting the monarch in right-facing portrait at approximately 77 years of age, bareheaded, adorned with a necklace and drop earrings. The legend ELIZABETH II D•G•REGINA encircles the upper field, with the engraver's initials SB present below the truncation of the bust. The portrait is rendered in a refined, naturalistic style characteristic of Blunt's official Canadian coinage effigy.

Additional information

Part of the Royal Canadian Mint's ongoing series of themed holiday issues aimed squarely at the gift market, this piece was released in 2018 alongside several other winter-themed 50-cent issues. The "3D" designation refers to a lenticular printing or domed surface treatment applied to the reverse — a production technique the RCM began deploying on its collector circulation-class pieces in the 2010s to distinguish them from standard coinage without resorting to precious metals.

These were sold in sealed packaging directly through the Mint, meaning most examples have never touched a pocket.
