| 背面描述 | The reverse, engraved by Stan Witten, depicts a dramatic scene of three Canadian soldiers in full battle dress and steel helmets disembarking from a landing craft, rifles at the ready, commemorating the Raid of Dieppe of 19 August 1942. The central figure strides forward from the open bow ramp while flanking soldiers advance in a dynamic composition with choppy water at their feet. A naval vessel is visible in the left background field, evoking the amphibious assault. The denomination 50 CENTS is inscribed along the upper border, with the dual dates 1945 and 2005 flanking the legend CANADA along the lower exergue, and the engraver's initials PM appear in the lower right field. |

The Dieppe Raid of August 19, 1942 was a catastrophe by almost any measure — of the roughly 6,100 Allied troops who landed, nearly 60% were killed, wounded, or captured within hours. Canadians bore the brunt: the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division suffered over 3,300 casualties in a single morning. The military lessons, however brutal, directly shaped the planning of the Normandy landings two years later.
This coin belongs to the RCM's six-coin WWII commemorative series issued across 2005–2006, each pairing a half-dollar denomination with a specific Canadian engagement.
