Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Cents - Edward VII 1904-1909 coin from Newfoundland is that it was the first coin to feature the image of a British monarch on a Canadian coin. This was a significant departure from the previous coins issued by the Canadian provinces, which had featured images of animals, plants, and other symbols. The inclusion of King Edward VII's image on the coin was a nod to Newfoundland's status as a British colony at the time.
