| Beschrijving voorzijde | Left-facing draped bust of Queen Victoria, wearing a small ornate crown set upon her hair, which is elaborately dressed and gathered at the nape with a ribbon. The portrait, engraved by Leonard Charles Wyon, presents the young laureate effigy in high relief against a flat field. A continuous Latin legend reads VICTORIA DEI GRATIA REGINA around the upper periphery, with CANADA inscribed along the lower border, all separated from the toothed rim by a fine raised border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Canada's first fifty-cent piece was authorized under the Dominion coinage act of 1870, the same legislation that established a unified decimal currency following Confederation. Production was contracted to the Heaton Mint in Birmingham for several years before Ottawa established its own facility, meaning a meaningful share of Victorian-era Canadian halves were struck abroad and shipped across the Atlantic for circulation.
The 1875-H is the key date, with a mintage so low it remains disputed among specialists. The 1900 issue saw a last production run under Victoria before her death in January 1901.
