DESCRIPTION
Proudly minted at our Winnipeg facility, the circulation-themed Tribute: W Mint Mark series continues with Coin #3.
It is rarely used in day-to-day transactions but Canada’s 50-cent coin continues to be a favourite of collectors year after year. Our most elusive circulating coin denomination is celebrated on the third Tribute: W Mint Mark collectible, which invites a renewed appreciation for the intricate heraldic design that imbues this “minted in Winnipeg” tribute with a stately quality.
Coin #3 in the first pure silver collector series struck in Winnipeg.
