Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1911 Canadian Silver 50 Cents coin is that it was minted without the Latin phrase "DEI GRATIA" (meaning "By the grace of God") on the obverse side, which was a departure from the standard design used on other coins of the time. This omission was likely due to a mistake or an intentional decision by the Royal Canadian Mint, and it makes the coin a unique and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
