1945 Canada 50 Cents — PCGS MS 63 | King George VI | Coat of Arms | .800 Silver | Early Rattler Holder

A collectible mint state example of the 1945 Canada Fifty Cents — certified and graded Mint State 63 by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), cert 32190.63/9642899, housed in a desirable early PCGS “rattler” generation holder. Struck in the final year of the Second World War — the year of VE Day and VJ Day — the 1945 fifty cent is a historically significant date in the George VI series. At MS 63, this coin retains strong mint lustre with a well-struck Canadian Coat of Arms reverse and only moderate contact marks consistent with the grade.

The obverse features the left-facing portrait of King George VI by T.H. Paget, surrounded by the legend GEORGIVS VI D:G: REX ET IND: IMP:. The reverse displays the Canadian Coat of Arms with the denomination 50 CENTS above and CANADA / 1945 below. Struck in .800 fine silver at the Royal Canadian Mint, Ottawa.
