| Reverse description | Central field features a full-color applied image of Miga, the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics mascot — a hybrid sea bear creature with an orange helmet and black-and-blue orca-patterned body — depicted in dynamic pose on a skeleton sled, referencing the sliding discipline. The denomination 50 cents is incused along the upper rim, and the legend Vancouver 2010 with trademark symbol is incused along the lower rim, all rendered in raised Latin lettering against a plain nickel-finish field. |

| Additional information |
One of twelve coins in the Royal Canadian Mint's 2010 Vancouver Olympics mascot series, this piece features Miga — the half-orca, half-spirit bear figure developed specifically for the Games — rendered as a skeleton illustration. The twelve-coin format was designed for sequential collecting, with each position in the set assigned to a specific sport or mascot configuration. The skeleton sport depicted here refers to the sliding discipline, not the illustration style, though the RCM leaned hard into the visual pun.
