50 Dollars in the name of Victoria, Edward VII, and George V; Puzzle Coin - Centrepiece

This piece is the centrepiece of a three-coin puzzle set issued to mark the 150th anniversary of the Dominion of Canada's first gold coinage — the 1865 and 1908 sovereigns and the 1912–1914 $5 and $10 gold issues struck under three successive monarchs. The Royal Canadian Mint's Ottawa facility, which opened in 1908 specifically to process Klondike gold, struck those original coins under royal warrants that required the monarch's effigy to change with each succession. Combining all three portraits on a single centrepiece was a deliberate curatorial choice to compress that entire pre-war gold coinage era into one object.
