The set of five Canadian coins minted in 2002 to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.
Coins are displayed in a custom coin wallet with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the British throne following the death of her father, King George VI, on February 6, 1952.
She is the official head of state of Canada, so her portrait appears on Canadian coins.
In 2002, Canada issued a special set of Golden Jubilee coins to commemorate the 50th anniversary of her reign.
The One Cent through Twenty-Five Cents coins were struck with the dual dates 1952 and 2002 on the obverse, to the left of the truncation of the Queens neck.
In addition, a special one-time-only Fifty Cents commemorative coin was issued for the Golden Jubilee.
The Fifty Cents coin shows a new portrait of the young Queen Elizabeth II as she looked in 1952.
The portrait was created by Susan Taylor.
The reverse of the Fifty Cents coin features the coat of arms with the dual dates 1952 and 2002.
The Fifty Cents coin was issued only in 2002.
