Interesting fact
The 2002 Canadian Golden Tulip 50 cent coin is a non-circulating coin made of silver (.925) and weighs 9.3 grams. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases a stylized tulip, which is not a common motif on Canadian coins. The tulip is depicted in a stylized form, with petals that are curved and interconnected, creating a sense of movement and fluidity. The design is meant to evoke the beauty and elegance of the tulip, which is a symbol of spring and renewal. The coin's design is a departure from the traditional coin designs that feature portraits of royalty or other historical figures, making it a standout piece in the Royal Canadian Mint's collection.
