Issued in 2008 to mark the centennial of the Royal Canadian Mint. The 50c was 92.5% silver but the stamp looks like a bronze or copper coin just dug out of the ground buried for a hundred years. Very nicely printed though by Lowe-Martin combining offset/litho with embossing. Canada Scott/Unitrade 2274  The imprint of the embossing is quite clear on back.  The sheet of 16 is well laid out.  |
