2004 50c Coat of Arms of Canada - Sterling Silver 4 Coin Set

Since Queen Elizabeth came to the throne, the Canadian coat of Arms has evolved, just as the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has been modified to reflect the transition from newly crowned Queen (1953) to accomplished monarch (1965, 1990 and 2003).

Each coin in this distinctive set features one of these historic effigies with the Coat of Arms as it appeared when each new effigy was introduced, three different Coats-of-Arms in all.

1. Laureated Portrait  (as issued 1953-1964)
2. Tiara Portrait (as issued 1965-1990)
3. Royal Diademed Portrait (as issued 1991-2003)
4. Uncrowned Portrait (as issued 2003 – present)

Mintage only 12,230 Sets.
