| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two Atlantic Puffins (Fratercula arctica) are depicted in finely detailed relief perched upon and landing near coastal rock formations, with tufts of coastal grasses visible to the right. The foreground bird faces left with wings spread open in a landing pose, while the second bird stands upright on the rocks in the upper centre, both rendered with naturalistic feather texturing. The scientific name Fratercula arctica appears as a legend in italic script along the lower centre of the field. The legend CANADA arcs along the bottom, while 50 CENTS and the date 1995 are inscribed vertically along the right side. The engraver's initials appear discreetly in the lower right field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Part of the Royal Canadian Mint's ongoing birds of Canada series, the 1995 puffin fifty-cent piece was struck for the collector market rather than circulation — a distinction that had become standard practice for Canadian silver fifty-cent coins well before this date, as the denomination had effectively disappeared from everyday commerce by the early 1970s. Mintage for the 1995 issue was capped at 129,658 pieces.
