# 453 - $.50 CAD Coins

Starting in 1996 the $.50 coin issued in the Proof Set was struck on a sterling silver (92.5%) planchet. From 2012 on they were struck in fine silver (99.99%) planchet.

I will show now two of these coins.

The first was part of the Coronation Coin and Stamp Set. It commemorates the Queen's Jubilee. Its weight is 9.3g with 92.5% silver purity and Proof finish. The mintage was 14,743 units.

The second is a "normal" coin from the 2018 Premium Proof Set. Its weight is 9.4g with 99.99% silver purity.

I do like the obverse with the crowned Queen. Beautiful reverses.

This is by far the most beautiful half-dollar, and I am a great fan of half-dollars...
