| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vibrant full-color holiday scene occupying a recessed inner field, depicting two children in winter attire flanking a large snowman adorned with a black top hat, orange carrot nose, red scarf, and coal buttons, with a broom resting in its right hand. A seated spaniel dog and a red wooden sled appear in the foreground, while a warmly lit house decorated with a Christmas wreath forms the background amid falling snow. The legend CANADA arcs along the upper border in raised Roman capitals, and the denomination and date 50 CENTS 2013 are inscribed along the lower border, all within an uncolored milled rim. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of the Royal Canadian Mint's ongoing push into the collectible holiday coin market, this piece was sold directly to collectors and never entered general circulation. The snowman reverse was designed specifically for the gift market, and the RCM moved aggressively into themed seasonal issues during this period as a revenue strategy separate from its circulating coinage mandate.
