Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1998 Canadian Humpback Whale 50-cent coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the majesty of the humpback whale. The coin's reverse side features a beautiful rendering of a humpback whale breaching the water's surface, its barnacle-covered body glistening in the sunlight. The design is so detailed that you can even see the individual plates of the whale's baleen in its mouth. This attention to detail and the coin's unique subject matter make it a standout among other coins in the Royal Canadian Mint's collection.
