| Reverse description | This coin has been specifically designed for consistent weight while also ensuring that the subject remains unaltered from the original in detail and proportions. From the 1994 50-cent coin reverse design, this rendering of the Canadian Coat of Arms includes a wide range of symbolic imagery. A lion holding a Union Jack flag on the left and a unicorn holding a flag bearing three French fleurs-de-lys on the right support a central shield divided into five sections bearing historical emblems of England, France, Scotland, and Ireland, as well as a sprig of three maple leaves. The shield is encircled with a ribbon representing the Order of Canada bearing the motto desiderantes meliorem patriam, which means `desiring a better country.` The shield is surmounted by a royal helmet within a garland of maple leaves, upon which stands a crowned lion holding a maple leaf. St. Edward`s Crown, symbolizing Canada`s constitutional monarchy, rests above the lion, which symbolizes Canada`s sovereignty. The motto a mari usque ad mari (`from sea to sea`) appears in a ribbon below the shield, along with a `compartment` or garland composed of the floral emblems of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland. The image is portrayed within its own silhouette. |
