| Obverse description | The obverse features the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as designed by Susanna Blunt, whose initials 'SB' appear below the portrait at the truncation. The Queen is depicted wearing a pearl necklace and drop earrings, with her hair styled in an upswept coiffure. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs along the upper left rim, while 'D•G•REGINA' arcs along the upper right, both rendered in raised Latin capitals against a finely textured field. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Royal Canadian Mint's long-running annual holiday fifty-cent program, these issues have been produced since the 1990s and are sold directly to collectors rather than released into general circulation — a distinction that explains why nearly every example surfaces in pristine condition. The series has no secondary monetary function and is priced well above face value at point of sale.
