| Reverse description | The reverse showcases a vibrant lenticular colour image depicting Santa Claus kneeling beside a decorated Christmas tree, placing gifts from his large red sack near a fireplace mantel adorned with hanging red stockings and a mantel clock. A nutcracker figure is visible to the right of the hearth, and the warm interior scene is rendered in full polychrome colour within a recessed disc at the centre of the coin. The legend 'CANADA' arcs along the upper rim and '50 CENTS 2012' along the lower rim, both in raised Latin lettering on the milled border surrounding the colour insert. |
