Canadian 50 Cent (1959-1996)
Coin Ring

The 50-cent coin bears the Canadian Coat of Arms. It honours the four founding nations of Canada: England, Scotland, Ireland and France. The inscription, "A Mari usque ad Mare," means "from sea to sea"; the second inscription, "Desiderantes meliorem patriam," means "they desire a better country." The current design was produced by Royal Canadian Mint engraver Thomas Shingles and was first used in 1959.
