Interesting fact
The 50 Cents - Elizabeth II (Snowman) 2008 coin from Canada features a unique design of a snowman, which is not a common motif on coins. It was issued as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item. This coin is made of bronze plated nickel and weighs 12.61 grams. It's an interesting fact that the Royal Canadian Mint produced a coin with such a playful and winter-themed design, which is not typically seen on coins.
