Did you know?
This emblem is commonly referred to as the Coat of Arms of Canada, but did you know it's actually the Queen's Canadian Coat of Arms, officially called the Coat of Arms of Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada?
Since 1921, Canada's coat of arms has been modified three times.
In 1923, the Government of Canada commissioned a painting from the College of Heralds. The design was used for government purposes until 1957.
Armourer and artist Alan Beddoe redesigned the coat of arms in 1957: he modified the Royal Crown to resemble the Crown of St. Edward, and added a branch of red maple leaves to the shield.
The current design was created by Cathy Bursey-Sabourin, Fraser Herald of the Canadian Heraldic Authority, and approved in 1994. Behind the shield, a ring bears the motto of the Order of Canada, Desiderantes meliorem patriam ("They desire a better country").
This is not the first time a coin has featured the Canadian coat of arms; different versions of the coat of arms have appeared on almost every 50-cent coin issued since 1937.
